ABOUT THE AMAZING ARTISTS:

TERRELL JAMES: Terrell James is a well-known Houston-based artist whose abstract painting and works on paper are characterized by an expansive vocabulary of gestural mark-making, automatist brushwork and illuminating interactions of form, light, color and density, embodying strong references to the natural world. For the past thirty years, her methodology has been playfully intuitive and intellectually rigorous. The work is grounded in a process of constant rediscovery of what is hers in nature, while integrating with it what she experiences in the more time bound landscape of human artifacts. She has produced an extraordinary body of work which reflects the conviction and knowledge of a skillful painter whose work is an ever-expanding study of the experiential essence of landscape and memory.

JESSE LOTT: Jesse Lott is an African-American Houston-based artist who is known for his visionary wire sculpture, papier-mache figures and works on paper made using found materials. Lott is one of Texas’ most respected artists and has exhibited in major museums and universities in Texas and throughout the South. His art has also been shown at the Studio Museum and The Alternative Museum in New York. His primary goal however has not been recognition and financial success, but simply to communicate true realism (Harithas, 1999). For the past forty years, his work has been grounded in an approach to art that he calls “Urban Frontier Art,” which involves the recycling of discarded urban material into art. His work expresses deep feeling and a magical sense of the mysterious other. In the words of the artist, “creativity is that part of awareness that goes beyond knowledge.” His signature sculptural aesthetic reflects a sophisticated grasp of folk art and often depicts a cast of characters including mythological beings, heroes, and ordinary people, as a way to explore the many complex dimensions of being human (Harithas, 1999).
