"Force Bloom" New Works by James Verbicky

JoAnne Artman Gallery

JoAnne Artman Gallery is thrilled to welcome James Verbicky for his Third Solo Exhibition! Respecting the great artists before him such as Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, Verbicky forges ahead with his unique style paving the way for a new direction. A self-taught artist James is always experimenting and taking chances, making new what was once old. The complexity with a certain familiarity in James' work, specifically his newer paper pieces, pique the viewer's interest in both Verbicky's process and motivation resulting in the common theme of "How Does He Do That?" James experiments with ease, his ability and inventiveness will surely solidify his mark on the art world.
