"The Satisfaction Of A Well-Groomed Lawn" (2019) acrylic on canvas, 48x60 inches. Stripes series. This is the only Stripes painting where the lines run vertically. "The dad in me wanted this picture to exist, for those other 8 months of year..." Jim Ford’s series of Stripes paintings began as an epiphany, a resolution between maximalism and minimalism. “They were a natural progression in my art practice and it was an important lesson. I enjoyed the technique, production methods and the objects that they became. I think I fell into this obsession naturally, and found my own way to extend the vocabulary of the pattern, not unlike Frank Stella, Agnes Martin or Gerhard Richter. Just different than them.” The collection represents a concrete architectural style emphasizing parallel lines and layers that change with perspective for the viewer. Space is the picture frame for these works. The Stripes paintings interact with the perception of the viewer, while engaging in conversation with the room through color, line and texture. The pieces are individual and cerebral like much of Ford’s work, each carrying a unique concept suggested in their titles. Created between 2017 and 2020, the Stripes paintings are supported by a few select works that informed the series and developed the techniques.

Jim Ford (b.1981) is an interdisciplinary artist and type designer with studios based in Milwaukee. Ford works primarily as a painter and sculptor, using acrylic mixed media, collage ephemera, printed fabrics and household materials for his signature collage paintings. His works are loosely animated, intuitive yet sophisticated; sometimes appearing mechanized in their moiré of color, texture and pattern. Symbolically abstract and subliminally coded, Ford’s themes tend to quips, commentary, inside jokes, and also theory, teachings and musings - reflecting the artist’s beliefs, passions and personal studies. Although many of his artworks are individual and unrelated, Ford works in various series to explore a particular theme or method, thinking laterally. More recently, his work has extended to synthetic mixed media sculptures employing organic patterns and elements of sacred geometry, which he refers to as ‘thought forms’ and ‘transdimensional recordings.’ Aside from his art practice, Jim Ford is an award-winning typeface designer with several original designs including Posterama, Masqualero and Hideout. In his tenure at Monotype and Ascender, he created bespoke typefaces for international brands, publications, devices and video games. Ford is perhaps best known for his keen drawing abilities and storied typefaces.
