Jim Banks
"Windows' Foot", contemporary, landscape, floral, nature, oil painting

2019

About the Item

“Windows’ Foot” by Jim Banks is a contemporary take on landscape or floral painting. This 36 x 42 inch oil painting on Masonite is from his “Footscape” series – what you see when you look down in front of your feet. The rich color, illustrative detail, and interplay of the weeds convey the genius of the divine in nature. It is unframed, and signed on the back. Through painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation, Banks pursues the idea of weeds. The “Windows” referenced in the title is from an outdoor installation of several garden beds and large planters. Banks fills the planters with dirt taken from abandoned areas around the city just to see what might grow. “Windows To Earth” is a berm 14 feet x 4 feet x 6 inches high bordered by logs and an old metal fence rail. Five panes of antique glass were laid on the berm, and the weeds grow up around the glass. One end of “Windows To Earth” is the designated “foot.” “Windows’ Foot” is from late September’s view of the “foot.” Banks is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.

  • "One-Way Ticket to Paris", landscape, abstract, blues, browns, oil painting
    By Alexandra Rozenman
    Located in Natick, MA
    Alexandra Rozenman’s “One-way to Paris” 16 x 20 x 2.5 oil on canvas painting is a part of her landscape series where she plays with reality and abstraction inside the familiar place. The painting is a well thought- through abstract painting that symbolizes both departure and arrival. The dramatic combination of blues and beautiful browns in geometrical interposition of forms gives us a feeling of going away, departure, speed, light, and serendipity filled with expectations and purifying beauty. The light of dreamy suns above the horizon is suddenly deep green and energizes and calms the senses at the same time. We wonder thinking about the future, a highway that magically finds a way to transform into one lonely Paris street light...

    By Alexandra Rozenman
    Located in Natick, MA
    Alexandra Rozenman’s “Redon’s Spirit” is a 36 x 24 x 2.5 oil painting on canvas. It is a part of her on-going series called “Beasts and Beauties”. Big and heavy sky filled with white and grey clouds, white moon and a flock of flying away birds fills two thirds of the painting creating a feeling of weight, time and an open space. There is a magic divider under it – something that is part umbrella, part inside-out tent, and part ships sails. It keeps us from something bad and powerful like a Devil’s Eye...
