About the Item

Modern landscape painting in the style of Edward Hopper of a white house with a red door against a dark night sky and river coastline "Red Door", painted in 2022 by James Kimak 16 x 16 inches, 17 x 17 x 2 inches with metallic floater frame Acrylic on linen Wired on Reverse for easy installation Artist signature on face, lower right corner James Kimak cites the work of American realist painter, Edward Hopper, as hugely influential on this own work as an artist. Like Hopper, the effective use of light and shadow to create mood is central to his methods. Bright sunlight (as an emblem of insight or revelation), and the shadows it casts, also play symbolically powerful roles in his work. His use of light and shadow effects evoke an aesthetic associated with the cinematography of film noir. Kimak's soft approach to realism often simplifies shapes and details; the outlines of architectural structures are immediately recognizable and offers a heightened contrast. "Red Door" was inspired by a scene in the artist's home in the Hudson River Valley. The composition is beautifully balanced; the structured building contrasts gestural brushstrokes in the natural surrounding. The saturation of realistic color plays off the darker areas of shadow, evoking that particular time of day and time of year. This painting is complemented by a deep light gold floater frame. About the artist: As a multidisciplinary artist working in both fine and graphic arts, I have been fortunate to live a "creative life" since graduating with a BS in Fine Art from the University of Bridgeport in 1976. While working in creative design and illustration positions including The New Haven Register, DC and Marvel Comics, NBC and CNBC, I have kept up my work in painting and drawing, having my first solo show, "A Sense of Place," at the Edward Hopper House (now Museum) in Nyack, NY in 1993. Following this successful show, I became a founding member of the cooperative Piermont (NY) Flywheel Gallery where I exhibited for a number of years before eventual representation by the Allen Sheppard Gallery in Piermont and New York City's Chelsea arts district. There were four successful solo exhibits with this gallery. Since then, I have exhibited in many juried (including some jurists of note), group and solo shows in and around NYC, including at the annual national juried show at the Rockport (MA) Art Association & Museum, where I garnered a Gold Medal for Excellence in Painting. Also among these shows was a regular showing of seven solo exhibitions at Chef Peter Kelley's (Iron Chef winner) restaurant, the Freelance Cafe in Piermont. I have also donated numerous works to various non-profit organizations' fund raising efforts throughout the years, and am a former Board member of the Edward Hopper House Museum. In Septeber of 2021, I won the Gold Medal of Honor at the 108th Annual Allied Artist of America exhibition in New York City. Beginning in 2019, I switched my long-time painting and drawing focus from works in pastel, to larger pieces in acrylic on canvas, a number of which can be viewed on this site. I focus on light and form, using abstraction and realism in the Edward Hopper mold (among other influences - I am also a fan of Fairfield porter, Richard Diebenkorn, etc..) to express my feelings about the world around me, focusing on beauty in the play of light on what is, often times, seemingly ordinary subject matter.
