Jim Rabby Art

American

Jim Rabby is a native of Houston, Texas. He had polio as a child, and while he was in Shrine Hospital, he was given art supplies after expressing his interest in art. He has been painting since the 1960s. He lived in Santa Fe in the mid-1980s, where he worked as an artist. Rabby is known for his loose Impressionist style, which is similar to that of known artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet. Rabby uses oils and applies them to a handmade canvas with a palette knife, which creates an interesting layered and textured piece.

Phenomena Celtic Fire Torc by Paul Jenkins - Abstract painting
By Paul Jenkins
Located in London, GB
Phenomena Celtic Fire Torc by Paul Jenkins (1923-2012) Acrylic on canvas 76 x 61 cm (29⁷/₈ x 24 inches) Signed lower left Paul Jenkins Signed, dated and titled on the reverse Executed in 1995 Provenance Private collection, Germany Biography Born at Kansas City in Missouri (USA), the multi-media artist, poet and playwright Paul Jenkins studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Art Students League in New York City. After his discharge from military service at the end of February 1946, he briefly studied playwriting with dramatist George McCalmon at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. Thereafter, Jenkins spent four years studying with Japanese American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi in New York City. His first solo exhibitions were held at Studio Paul Facchetti in Paris in 1954 and the Martha Graham Gallery in New York City in 1956. Over the past thirty years, numerous retrospectives have been curated across the globe and Jenkins’ work can found in national collections from Europe and the United States to Israel, Australia and Japan. The diversity of his work springs from Jenkins’ wealth of eclectic influences. Some of his earliest works included what he called "interior landscapes" influenced by ancient natural forms like the caves he visited in the Ozark Mountains in his native-Missouri. Frequent student visits to the Frick Collection in New York fostered a love of the great masters: Bellini, Holbein, Vermeer, Rembrandt, de la Tour, Turner and Goya. In compliment, lingering student visits to the renowned Eastern collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City evoked powerful sympathy for a monumental Chinese fresco...

Expressive Seascape Oil Painting
By Jim Rabby
Located in Houston, TX
Beautiful oil painting of a seascape that is highly textured and includes hues of blue and green. The painting is signed on the upper left corner by the artist and is nicely displayed in a blue and green speckled frame that accentuated the composition's palette. The painting is in overall good condition. Dimensions Without Frame: H 8 in. x W 10 in. Artist Biography: Of his expressive, abstract oil landscapes and florals, Jim Rabby says: "Painting is accessing and practicing consciousness. It's a portal. I love bringing passion and fierceness to the space, creating great value. He stretches his own canvases, makes a charcoal sketch and then works up his palette, sometimes pounding "the paint for hours. . . .I'm never warming up, I simply fray and I back off and I fry and I back off; it's a flutter, that's my range." Rabby has been painting since the mid 1960s and living in Santa Fe since the mid 1980s. He occupies a 1912 downtown adobe studio and gallery. A native of Houston, Texas, he had polio as a child, and his interest in art was stimulated by the many volunteers at the Shrine Hospital who brought him art supplies. His works have captured the attention of world-class art aficionados—Texas millionaire and art buff H. L. Hunt, former Mexican president Miguel de la Madrid, famed heart surgeon Dr. Denton Cooley, billionaire Ross Perot, tennis greats Jimmy Connors and Rod Laver...
