Overview
Artspace111 is proud to present the latest exhibition About Time, featuring paintings by Jim Woodson.

No neat borderline separates a purely perceptional image-if such there is- from one completed by memory…”-Rudolf Arnheim


This work explores​​ memory images serve to identify, interpret, and supplement perception. These paintings draw inspiration from the high deserts of the southwest, mostly in Texas and New Mexico. These “outer” landscapes are modified by  “inner ones”. The inner concerns are a dialogue with dreams, memories, thought fragments and streams of consciousness. By the contextual placement or overlay of inner and outer, Woodson conveys thoughts about the nature of imagination: to achieve a sense of the imagination’s movement (tempo) against a relatively unchanging environment (duration). Woodson is 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. Woodson shows us these juxtapositions enliven the surface and create an ambiguous space that causes the viewer to question his/her notions about perceptual space. Woodson provides the viewer choices that lie between dualities like cultural and natural, perspectival and encompassed, near and far, representational and abstract, mythic time and geologic time, movement and stillness, order and chaos. Woodson believes landscapes to be understood as a “verb” rather than a “noun”.
