VISIONARY ART FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
JAMES THORPE IS QUICKLY GAINING RESPECT IN THE ART COMMUNITY FOR HIS ABILITY TO DEPICT LANDSCAPE AND STILL-LIFE SETTINGS WITH FLAIR AND IMAGINATION WHILE MAINTAINING COMPOSITIONAL INTEGRITY.
THIS WORK INCLUDES AN UNUSUAL MEDLEY OF SUBJECTS AND PLACES WHICH CREATE A PLEASING BLEND OF EMOTION AND LUSH COLOR. EACH SETTING CAPTURED REPRESENTS THE VIBRANCY OF LIFE FOUND IN NATURE.
A FINE ARTS GRADUATE FROM BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY, JAMES HAS STUDIED ART UNDER WULF BARSCH, INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTIST AND PROFESSOR OF ART, JAMES C. CHRISTENSEN AND LEON PARSONS, BOTH NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTISTS AND INSTRUCTORS OF ART.
JAMES HAS BEEN CREATING ART SINCE CHILDHOOD, FOCUSING ON SUBJECTS THAT CONVEY HIS LOVE FOR NATURE AND THE WORLD AROUND HIM. THORPE’S DEEP APPRECIATION FOR SIMPLE BEAUTY SEEMS EFFORTLESSLY CAPTURED IN HIS OIL PAINTINGS.
