• Inbeom's glass creations sit between sculpture and painting in transparent layers
• His practice is a study of heat, viscosity and suspended movement
• He presented his work at London Craft Week in 2026

Inbeom Song explores the moment when movement, heat and material converge into glass form. Trained in craft design at Cheongju University and in glass art at Kookmin University, he developed his practice through the traditional technique of glassblowing under glass artist and professor Junyong Kim. "Glass is a paradoxical material: fluid and constantly transforming when heated, yet capable of fixing a fleeting instant once it cools," Inbeom says. His works often take the form of sculptural vessels animated by gestural marks that recall painterly strokes. Rather than starting from predetermined images, Inbeom's process emerges through close observation of physical forces such as gravity, temperature and viscosity. Each piece becomes a record of time, gesture and matter captured within translucent form.
