Jim Lively Jim Lively is an attorney on permanent sabbatical from practicing law to pursue his passion full-time as a contemporary figurative and abstract artist. While he has been painting many years, he only began publicly exhibiting the latter part of 2008 due to his career as an attorney. Jim’s works have been recognized in numerous juried competitions and publications. In addition, he has participated in several group and a solo exhibitions across North America. He has published three books of images of his works including one novel. Whether portrayed in the abstract, realism or somewhere in between, Jim’s work is most influenced by the attractive, unattractive and sometimes humorous components of contemporary culture. His figurative and surreal works tend to focus upon interesting juxtaposition of images which share the same canvas. Jim likes to challenge the viewer to question how these images relate to one another. On the other hand, his abstract paintings reflect culture through the use of texture, intersecting lines, color shading and often words. Jim’s formal education includes a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas and a Juris Doctor from Southern Methodist University. View more works at: |
