Biography


Jim Jonson

There is an imaginative immediacy about the work of Jim Jonson that sets him apart from most of today's artists. He communicates an authenticity of sensation, a sense of the movement of life, whether dealing with the nude, the dancer or the athlete. He not only creates representations of things seen or imagined but goes on to dominate the literal qualities of the image by the force of his emotional response and inventiveness. He uses a figure to describe the relationship of solids to void capturing the allusive, the emotional, and the passionate portrayal of the inspired moment.
