James Kent

For several years, the paintings of Oceanport artist James Kent have followed the fundamentally landscape-based abstract expressionist direction pioneered by artists such as Richard Diebenkorn. This provided much inspirational territory, but his recent work reflects a growing restlessness with working only in paint. Studying the works of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, he began to explore using collage elements – everything from magazine and newspaper clippings to various found objects – to enrich the painted surface. These recent paintings are less referential to the landscape and more evocative of urban existence. To see more of his work, go to www.jameskentart.com.
