Jim Woodson

Interested in calling attention to the act of painting, as well as to how one understands visual conventions by combining self-referential marks and forms with more traditional rendering, Jim Woodson explores the high deserts of New Mexico in this body of work. The contrasts enliven the surfaces and create an ambiguous space that causes the viewer to question their notions about perceptual space. With these works, it is Woodson’s hope to provide the viewer choices that lie between dualities such as cultural and natural, near and far, mythic time and geologic time.
