JIM FIVES' STATEMENT
"I
think most Artists' Statements read like pretentious crap.
I look at my
work and see a bunch of fast cars and naked women and I wonder if,
mentally, I have made it out of junior high school. What can I say? I
paint what moves me, and that's girls and cars. And color.
I
love color and, to me, the vibrations of color are like the vibrations
of music, (here comes the crap) so each painting is like a chord
humming away. And art history.
Every now and then I re-work a painting from the past.
As for rhymes, I have a
confession. I hate country music,but when I write a rhyme, I have a
country-type melody playing in my head.
I guess poets do suffer ..."
