Art Access is pleased to show the work of sculptor JinMan Jo who will show five of his oversized works in bronze, steel and wood from April 18 through May 7, 2008. The exhibit will also display several of his pedestal pieces. The Artist's Reception will be held on Friday, April 18 from 6 to 9 PM, during the Salt Lake City Gallery Stroll. As JinMan Jo works slowly and steadily, almost ceremoniously, the material take on new form and becomes the vehicle for the transmission of the philosophy of his life, his understanding of time and space and his observations of limitations, connections, communications and polarities. Thick steel bends during forging and hammering. Thin wires work together to show interconnectedness. Weak things overlapping and interconnecting with each other become strong. Each piece makes an undeniable contribution to the whole. JinMan Jo says, 'My sculptural works are like entries in a personal journal. This self-reflective process focuses my feelings as I work. Each period of my life is represented through the use of stone, steel and wood along with the choice of size, shape, texture and attachment, reflecting my thinking and feelings in that moment in time..' The sculptor is currently an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. Jo received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Environmental Sculpture from the University of Seoul in Korea , where he carved many monumental granite pieces. These works are in the collection of Seosan Sculpture Garden in Seosan, Korea. JinMan Jo received a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the University of Iowa in 2003.
