About the Item
This piece titled "HER" is an original artwork by Jim Houser and is made of acrylic on panel. This piece measures approximately 17”h x 17”w and ships in the pictured manipulated frame. This piece was debuted in the 2023 exhibition, "PUSHING" which featured new work from the artist.
“I have been increasingly focused on the way in which I approach art-making and examining my practice. For me, art-making, music, and skateboarding all involve these similar repetitive routines which allow for some form of meditation to occur. Much of the work in this show is an examination of how intertwined these three things have become for me.” –Jim Houser
Jim Houser was born in 1973 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the city where he currently resides. Houserʼs collages, paintings, and installations have been exhibited extensively in institutions such as the Laguna Art Museum and the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Art as well as galleries in Milan, Paris, Sydney, and São Paulo. His work is included in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Houser layers acrylic on wood, fabric, and found objects, blurring the lines between collage and sculpture. when viewed as a whole, it becomes clear that all of his works are associative and directly related. This deceptively dimensional quality is further highlighted when the pieces are assembled into one of the artist’s elaborate installations, adding to the complexity of each individual piece by emphasizing greater interconnectivity to the body of work as a whole.
