JIM SHAW (B. 1952) Stocks Painting signed and dated 'J Shaw 2007' (on the overlap) oil on canvas mounted on wooden board 82 x 121.5 cm. (32 ¼ x 47.7.8 in.) Executed in 2006. PROVENANCE Metro Pictures, New York Famous as a collector of American junk, including a trove of thrift store paintings once sought by art collector Charles Saatchi, Jim Shaw draws on his vast stores of pop cultural artifacts in his work. The My Mirage (1986–91) project comprises nearly 170 drawings, silkscreens, photographs, sculptures, films, and paintings based on a Shaw stand-in called Billy, who grows from childhood to psychosis to born-again Christianity. Billy exists amid a 1960s and ’70s visual overload of pulp novels, comic books, records, and psychedelic posters. The artist’s Oism project, initiated in the late 1990s, explores his fictional religion through media including video installations (recalling both Busby Berkeley musicals and 1980s aerobics videos) and found paintings in the “Oist style.” Shaw’s richly layered practice takes liberally from both art history (Art Brut, Vincent van Gogh, Salvador Dalí, Rene Magritte, Max Ernst) and America’s vernacular of coffeemakers and zombie films. 1952 born in Midland, MI, US Lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, US 1974 BFA, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, MI, US 1978 MFA, California Institute of the Arts, CA, US One-person exhibitions: 2017 (Forthcoming) The Wig Museum, Marciano Art Foundation, Los Angeles, CA, US Massimo De Carlo, Milan, IT 2016 Rather Fear God, Praz-Delavallade, Paris, FR Rather Fear God, Praz-Delavallade & Vedovi, Brussels, BE 2015-2016 The End Is Here, New Museum, New York, NY, US Simon Lee Gallery, London, UK Entertaining Doubts, Mass MOCA - Museum of Contemporary Art, North Adams, MA, US 2014-2015 Jim Shaw.

An abstracted view of home, with the light forever glowing from within, is the essence of Allegro. With seemingly random strokes of color and texture the abstract expressionist transitional landscape takes form. The coloration is representational until the texture changes the subject to a living form, subject to interpretation. The green exterior landscaping grounds the oil painting in the imagined reality. Artist Daryl Hastings...

Wave play is all about the miraculous action of the sea at the edge of earth. It is all about the excitement and motion and the play of colors as the sunlight glistens upon the ocean blues, the sandy beiges, creams and taupes and how it makes you feel! The undertow crashes into the beachfront demanding control of the powerful surf! The gritty texture of nature in this original oil painting never recedes! This marine landscape commands attention with the free feeling abstract expressionism brush strokes, impasto paint application and insistence that it remains an organic reflection of the artist's experiences. International artist Anita Lewis...

The blue thunder ascends upon your vision and the majesty of the sea reigns. With the textures and blues ranging from darkest navy to aquamarine, this original abstract expressionist marine landscape compells the viewer to feel the power and the motion of the tide. Confident, flowing brush strokes, impasto paint application and abstract subject interpretations weave a tapestry on canvas reflective of the artist's perspectives and experiences. The artist carries the subject matter to all four deep gallery wrapped sides so as to not interupt the feeling bursting from the work. International artist Anita Lewis...
