| Jim Bloom created this startling expressionist painting showing the tensions and anxieties while in an airport terminal at Memphis. It is one of his most recent works. Jim Bloom pulls from a well of personal experience using technical innovation to create a highly expressive and emotional style. Fearlessly innovating, drawing over cutout images, painting on paper or cardboard or whatever materials on hand, and creating elaborately layered abstract collages often with seething figural connotations. Sometimes he combines the art with text, as if influenced by cartoon art. ”He looks like a 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 traveling and working at various odd jobs. After an auto accident he began to take up painting. Jim focuses on human interaction in his work by examining family and interpersonal relationships, gender and social issues. Jim began exhibiting only relatively recently in the Philadelphia area with Coalition of Self Taught Artists Collective. He has had solo shows at the Outsider Folk Art Gallery, Judy’s on Cherry Euro Café in Reading , Pa; 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 (summer 2007); "Nothing is Black + White" Art by Outsider, Visionary, Art Singulier + Intuitive Artists at Artsites gallery in Riverhead, NY (Jan-Feb 2008) | |||||||
