I went to Christie’s on last Wednesday & saw their newest auction called Visionary. Amazing and insightful. Here are some highlights that I find interesting. Because they would sell it to private collectors not public institutions, we won’t see in public settings for a while. Hope everyone who sees my post enjoy the splendid arts.

My three picks from the current exhibition at Norton Museum of Art featuring Joseph Stella., early 20 century American artist. First painting titled “Undine”, Greek water nymph’s fatal transformation depicted here so beautifully by the painter. The second is called “Tree of My Life”, 1919, more than 6 feet high and wide, impressive & breathtaking. The 3rd is “The Virgin”, 1926.

Fall is the season for reflection. Reflecting on our nation’s identity is on a lot of minds in America nowadays. Writers, painters, musicians, and all artists, draw on reflection to incite our imaginations to see differently. They evoke places we thought we knew but discover that there is an essence which we never saw before. It is through experiencing their creative work that ordinary people often taste the unknown. Juko Gallery is proud to present a series of paintings by Jim Gingerich, a Texan born artist, currently living in Long Island, New York. His art transports us to a vision of the American West that is rich in colors, possibilities, and dreams. It is a vision uniquely created by Jim Gingerich.

We have sequenced this series like story boards for a movie. Each painting feels related to the prior one. They all resonate with ambiguity, unfolding tension, and conflict. Characters burst into life with physical actions, moving to ever widening landscapes, that dynamically suggest the widening possibilities and choices which the myth of the West embodies. In Jim’s paintings, we don’t know who is the hero or the villain, and that ambiguity reminds us that there is a bit of both in everyone, just as we learned so often from watching western movies.

As one film critic describes, people like legends more than the truth. We have a fascination with the great American West and it's mythic hero - the cowboy. As we face the trials of today, we often look to our myths for guidance. The West, its dramatic landscapes, and its cowboys, represent a unique American vision of freedom, and unlimited possibility. It is the home of the rugged individual inside each of us and it continues to inspire our imagination. Jim Gingrich expresses the spirit of the American West in his paintings. He is a painter of the great American Myth. His love of the medium, with thick impasto surfaces on his paintings, brings the magic of the cowboy archetype to life. Gingrich's paintings depict a wild landscape as much of the mind as of the earth. He is a painter of spirit, myth, and magic.
