Jim Coates Paintings

The amazing variety of perceptual data, i.e., motifs, that I collect while hiking the trails, creeks, and streams  of Arizona provide a grounding layer of shapes, forms, colors etc., upon which I layer more elements borrowed from the same information source, natures own wikipedia.

Juxtaposition of these elements, both conceptually and naturally derived, create a pictorial  conversation leading to discovery on several levels. That is, the initial aesthetic experience of pleasure opens up a discussion on the wonderment of life and beyond.
