About the Item
This piece titled "BEACH CIGS" is an original painted sculpture by Jim Houser made of assembled objects. This piece measures approximately 7”h x 12”w x 3.5”d. It includes the pictured cigarette sculpture and the driftwood shelf underneath (all are part of the sculpture) that mounts to the wall with the pictured painted red brackets.
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.
