Jim Crossin

I was born and live in belfast northern ireland. I’ve travelled and worked in different parts of the world.
For me, painting is concerned with communication, where we can 'speak' or inhabit space on a level which isn't generally possible. One has the freedom to have certain assumptions and the 'quality of the assumption' is related to the quality of the dialogue.

I am largely self taught.
I attended Rupert Stanley college Belfast.
Studied history of art and art A level, 1984
Foundation art studies course 1986
