About the Item
Jim Stoker describes himself as an Artist-Naturalist, endeavoring to express his reverence for wildlife through his richly-colored paintings. In his love for the vivid and varied colors of native Central Texas plants, Stoker developed the technique which he refers to as “confetti-splatter.” Splattering colored paints over a layer of hand-cut paper confetti on the canvas, Stoker scrapes off the paper bits to reveal a lively and intricate textural ground. The resulting bright and irregular patchwork creates a canvas surface suitable to hold Stoker’s beloved subject of the Guadalupe River.
In a 2013 Artist Statement, Stoker explains his relationship with his subject matter:
“Being able to study riparian features during all seasons, over a long period of time, makes it possible to better understand the ecological balance of the Guadalupe environment. As a result, subject matter for oil paintings has become more personal, reflecting our life and awareness of river ecology, in a manner that someone just passing by could never understand."
"Science is an important part of my studies. I have learned about the exquisite interrelationships that bind all life forms into one complex system. Riparian areas occur on both sides of a stream, including the entire drainage system. A healthy river bottom is covered by thick vegetation, which most people do not understand in their belief that it is too overgrown and shaggy. This painter wants to paint from understanding and knowledge, not merely to search for scenic views. Understanding the world around us has been important to my development as a creative person.”
Jim Stoker was born in Nash, Texas in 1935, and grew up in Atlanta, Texas. He attended the University of Texas at Austin and graduated with a BFA in Applied Art in 1957. His teaching career culminated in a 30-year tenure at Trinity University in San Antonio, where he retired as Professor of Art, Emeritus, in 1996. His work is in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, The Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin, the McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, and the San Antonio Museum of Art. Valley House Gallery has exhibited Jim Stoker’s work since 2006, and published a catalogue for the exhibition, “Jim Stoker: 50 Year Retrospective,” in 2011.
The dimensions including the frame are 31 1/8 x 41 inches.
