| Jim Bloom pulls from a well of personal experience and uses his own technical innovations to show off a unique style that effectively expresses his thoughts and emotions. He fearlessly experiments, drawing on cutout images, painting on paper, or cardboard or whatever materials on hand, and creates elaborately layered collages with work ranging from abstract to figurative, and sometimes incorporating text. "It looks like DeKooning!" one observer admired. Jim Bloom was born in Allentown, PA in 1968. He began his drawing career as a child. He studied at Philadelphia's Temple University for about a year, later taking to an uninhibited lifestyle, traveling and working at various odd jobs. During this time he made small drawings. By the mid 1990's Jim had been in and out of rehabilitation programs, but was finally hospitalized after being in an auto accident. At this time he began to take up drawing and painting. Jim focuses on human interaction in his work by examining family and interpersonal relationships, gender and social issues. Jim began exhibiting his work in the Philadelphia area with Coalition of Self-Taught Artists Collective. He has had solo shows at the Outsider Folk Art Gallery and Judy's on Cherry Euro Cafe in Reading, PA, at Sweet Mabel Gallery in Narberth, PA, as well as participating in the 2nd Annual Outsider Art in the Hamptons show at Galerie BelAge in Westhampton Beach, NY.
