Originals

Juszczyk James - Galerie La Ligne


James Juszczyk is committed to rigor, intensity, patience and perception. His work is unique for its melding of concepts from Constructivism, Zen Haiku and Perception Theory with a painterly tradition he shares with Mondrian, Rothko and Reinhardt. While the work remains firmly rooted in abstraction, Juszczyk's penetrating sense of the metaphysical brings his chromatic fields into transcendent and profound relationships which may rightly be called sublime.
