JAMES NARES

James Nares is a gestural-abstractionist par excellence.  Nares (b. 1953) makes his bold highly stylised marks by physically suspending himself above the painting on a homemade sliding contraption which enables him to drag a loaded brush in its sweeping calligraphic path across the canvas.
A New York artist, Nares' biography lists numerous solo exhibitions in the United States and London as well as inclusion in some of the most exciting curated group exhibitions of the last thirty-five years including shows at MOMA and The Drawing Centre, New York.
