“I tend to keep things simple and try to create work that people will feel good about hanging in their homes. My style is loose. Sort of halfway between Robert Bateman and a caveman.” - Jimmy Wright
Jimmy Wright
Atypical. Unconventional. Economist. Artist.
Wait?!! Did you say economist? Yes, that was Jimmy's first profession. And then he left corporate life, became a fishing guide, and evolved into an artist.And a very sought-after artist. While Jimmy passed away 10 years ago, we are pleased to present you with these 2 striking paintings. From a private BC collection, they have been with the consignor since 1993. Animal iconography fills these canvasses in bright, saturated colour. Colour field paintings of North American animals become fine art "graffiti" that draw the viewer to look closer.
