Southern California artist Jim Isermann is well known for liberating formal and conceptual parameters around art and design. Deceptively simple in its design, Jim Isermann's limited edition fuses economy of form with personal ingenuity and flair. In this case, the colored plastic material is at once absorbent and reflective, and although the pieces themselves are lightweight, the work looks and feels substantial. When installed, four identically contoured, vacuum-formed plastic tiles combine to form one modular diamond shape, creating a minimalist structure that looks stately and sophisticated but feels friendly, a two-fold quality often experienced in this artist's work.
This limited edition presents a rare opportunity to collect a work by this prominent California artist, who has been exhibiting in the U.S. and internationally since 1980, the year he received his MFA from California Institute of the Arts. Jim Isermann is represented by Richard Telles Gallery (Los Angeles), Feature Inc.(New York), and Corvi-Mora (London). His work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions, including "Beau Monde: Toward a Redeemed Cosmopolitanism," The Fourth International Biennial, Site, Santa Fe (2001), and "Sunshine and Noir: Art in L.A. 1960-1997," Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark (1997), to name just three. The artist has had solo exhibitions at UCLA Hammer Museum (2002), Centre d'art Contemporain, Grenoble, France (1999), Santa Monica Museum of Art (1999), among many others. Recent commissioned public projects include permanent installations at The University of California, San Francisco (2003), and L.A. Eyeworks, Los Angeles (2002).
