About the Item
Call and Response:
Like most of my work, my paintings are painted “ alla prima”.
“alla prima (Italian, meaning at first attempt), direct painting or au premier coup,[1] is a painting technique in which layers of wet paint are applied to previously administered layers of wet paint. Used mostly in oil painting, the technique requires a fast way of working, because the work has to be finished before the first layers have dried.
I relish the level of risk and excitement inherent in ‘alla prima’ painting. Once a mark is laid down, that mark insists that I work with it, so each mark becomes a commitment, and each subsequent mark must respond to the previous one. Although this method is exciting, it allows little opportunity to rethink or revise. I must be willing to take what is given. The paint remains lively and active. It challenges me every step of the way.
I arrive at titles after the painting is complete. I aim to suggest an entry into the painting without prejudicing the viewer’s own interpretation.
“In music, call and response is a succession of two distinct pases usually written in different parts of the music, where the second phrase is heard as a direct commentary on or in response to the first. This can take form as commentary to a statement, an answer to a question or repetition of a phrase following or slightly overlapping the initial speaker(s).[1] It corresponds to the call and response pattern in human communication and is found as a basic element of musical form, such as verse-chorus form, in many traditions.
I titled this painting “Call and Response” because the upper and lower halves of the painting were created as a ‘back and forth’ motion…I worked on the upper part, then responded by further developing the lower half. As a result, the two halves have a rhythmic back and forth relationship that resembles the ‘call and response’ in musical composition.

- Lumina FabricusBy Roi JamesLocated in Los Angeles, CAIn James' paintings, he explores how uncertainty can lead to meaning and understanding. How harmony can be experienced even within tension and chaos and how the recognizable can rise out of purely abstract form. In his abstract paintings he responds to these phenomena by creating contemporary icons – works meant to encourage contemplation and meditation. James' more recent works have evolved from the romantic representational ideal into the symbolic, abstract archetype. He comes from a classical background inspired by the great romantic landscape painters such as Turner, Lorrain, Friedrich and Moran, his recent work is more influenced by the work of artists like Klee, Miro, Rothko, Pollock, Riley and Richter. James creates complex abstractions layered in familiarity and veiled in mysteriousness. The unorthodox methods he uses to apply and move oil paint allow him to create compositions that are formally beautiful – infused with tension and drama but also expressive of the spiritual, symbolic, mysterious and eternal. James' work counters...Category
