James Himber

Art is where intellectualism ends and emotionalism begins. Where diversity arises out of lack of focus, it is a weakness. In my work, I'm too restless and must pursue styles and themes to wherever they take me and be unafraid of the discomfort and agitation that may arise. I am wary of artists with coherent theories of the importance of their work. I'd rather spend my time tortured over the work than coming up with pretentious titles.
The work is who I am; there is no distance and everything is at stake. Otherwise, why do it?

Masters in Arts and Sciences from a fairly prestigious university
English and Philosophy Undergraduate Degree
Above and beyond all of that, I studied drawing and painting daily for most of my life, much more intensely than I ever studied Wittgenstein or Sartre.
