Must See::Jim Houser at White Walls SF
We previously told you about Awful Mountain, Jim Houser and Richard Colman’s upcoming joint show at White Walls in San Francisco. Here are some wonderful shots the gallery sent over (thanks goes out to Jeff Luger) of Jim working on his installation, as well as some of the individual pieces available.
Jim’s installations are fantastically inspirational, and he possesses the unique ability to create an environment that is at once warm and welcoming, yet thought provoking an densely layered. Through his use of reoccurring characters, symbols, and text, Jim has created a language and ongoing narrative that is distinctly his own, and represents a form of pure artistic and emotional expression that is often void from much contemporary illustrative art today. Simply put, he is one of our favorite working artists. Read on for more images of the installation in progress.
