Tray with Oranges Painting

Jim’s artwork represents visual experiences in a world of constant, complex change and variation. His work is eclectic. Content engages points of view with word play, relating or uncovering sites of significance, or activating meaningful symbols. This work involves playful juxtaposition and occasional recognition of darker implications in a search for truth. The challenge of accepting ambiguity is that many viewers tend to disregard all but the overdetermined experience that nestles in categories. Unless one invests time many of these works appear ordinary, while they are also capable of evoking new layers of meaning as artworks are experienced through time.
