Calvin Kim American, b. 1992

Calvin Kim makes paintings and sculptures that engage questions of time, memory, and transformation as they persist within the layers of natural and manmade materials. His paintings often use humor, softness, and stupidity as an emotive stance for the rupturing condition of everyday living with hope and wonder. Kim holds a joint BFA and BA in Psychology from Cornell University and an MFA from Columbia University. He currently lives and works in New York.

Kim has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Proxy Place Gallery (Chatsworth, CA), Olive Tjaden Gallery (Ithaca, NY), and powderfreevacuumsealed.com (Online art platform, Kingston, NY). He has featured in group shows at Charles Moffett (New York, NY), Fredric Snitzer (Miami, FL), Subtitled NYC (Brooklyn, NY), The Room London (London, UK), Half Gallery (New York, NY), ChaShaMa (New York, NY), Wallach Gallery (New York, NY), and SHRINE (New York, NY). From 2022-2023, he has been the recipient of two concurrent fellowships: The Andrew Fisher Fellowship and The Chow Family Fellowship.
