Description
Jim Gaylord is a New York-based artist who explores the possibilities and boundaries of abstraction, adapting languages of formalism, geometry, ornament, and iconography. He interlayers motifs from both man-made and organic structures, finding connections between engineered and naturally occurring patterns. Recontextualizing symbols from our visual culture, his work resonates in ways that are specific yet enigmatic, inviting multiple readings.
