About the Item

SEVENTH TORII is an original, hand drawn(not a photo reproduction or digital print), limited edition lithograph with gold silkscreen printed using hand lithography and serigraphy techniques on archival Arches paper, 100% acid free, by the Iowa born artist Jim Buckels. SEVENTH TORII is a finely detailed, fantastical Japanese landscape scene under a shimmering metallic gold sky. Steep gray-pink and muted purple blue mountains serve as a majestic background to the iconic vermilion red Japanese torii gate and temple perched on top of the rolling carpets of lush green covering the jagged mauve pink and gray blue cliffs. Meandering pathways, walking bridges, waterfalls and calm streams create a meditative feel counterpointing the perpendicular mountain view. The Torii gate is a symbolic entrance into a new world, moving from the realm of the everyday, mundane life into another higher realm. Torii gates are often painted in a vermilion red because the color is believed to protect against evil. But also because of the preservative effects of the mercury found in the paint. Print size - 38.5." x 26.25", full bleed image, unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Jim Buckels Edition size - 300, plus proofs Year published -1989 Printer - J K Fine Art Editions Co. Large vertical image full bleed no white margins, signed in white pencil by Jim Buckels, an impressive handmade limited edition print. JIM BUCKELS Artist statement- "On one level, I think of myself as a decorative artisan, or at best a scene painter. I don't mind this distinction, because many of my heroes never achieved much more. It's a modest but honorable aspiration. The artists who have influenced me are quite dissimilar and usually less prominent in the pantheon of art history: Canaletto, the Flemish scene painters, the Hudson River artists like John Frederick Kensett, the Pre-Raphaelites like Edward Byrne-Jones, the Symbolists like Arnold Bocklin, the Surrealists like Magritte, and so on. Of course, I love the great masters from all periods, but I have a special affinity for the more obscure artist who had the gift for being able to coax you past the frame and transport you to another dimension. I think I actually do this sometimes and if it's all I can ever do, that's enough for me. Isadora Duncan said that all her life she had struggled to make one authentic gesture. I think that's what we all want." About the artist - Born and raised in Iowa, Jim Buckels developed an early fascination with fantasy images and faraway places. His mother, a literature professor at Iowa State University, exposed him to storybooks illustrated by N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, and Howard Pyle. This exposure can be seen in the magical qualities of his paintings and prints. They seem to offer the viewer an opportunity to enter into a storybook, fantastical realm. Buckels attended the University of Northern Iowa on a Fine Arts scholarship, but interrupted his education to enlist in the army. Returning from a tour in Vietnam three years later, Buckels resumed his education and finished a bachelor's degree in art. He later worked as a free lance illustrator, reminiscent in style to regional artists such as Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton. Buckels is best known for his visionary lines and skewed perspective, which creates an inner world of both real and imaginary locales. In his work he exhibits the influences of the primitive dreamscapes of Henri Rousseau. It has been noted of Buckels that his pictures "tell stories that linger in memory long after one has viewed them, hinting at truths that lie just below the surface of the seen world." As a contemporary artist working in his own faintly deco/1990's style, Buckels continues to enthrall viewers and recruit voyagers into his magical realm. Jim Buckels Artwork is done in several forms. His originals are mainly done with an airbrush. He also does limited edition serigraphs on paper and canvas, and Buckels does serigraphs on clayboard which tend to produce the quality of his original air brush paintings.
