JIM WARD MORRIS MIDCENTURY PRINT SERIES

In my new series titled MIDCENTURY each collage exists completely as a high resolution digital image. All images available from this photo-based open edition series are expressed as digital pigment prints using museum quality archival ink and paper.
(print size 36X24” or 18X12”)

The new prints titled MIDCENTURY have been described as "imagery inspired by advertising from the 1950's and 1960's, certainly Joan Holloway and the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency (from the TV show Mad Men) would love this new work."

ART DESIGN

As a visual artist, graphic designer, native of Southern California and graduate of CalArts my work is respectfully influenced by many different concepts, including the art and design created by
John Baldessari and Lou Danziger. Both men have managed outstanding careers.

In my career I have experienced a variety of art and design projects and recently as my focus changes to personal creative work, I realize the need to be engaged in a dialogue with other artists and art-consumers. As a connoisseur of archival printing techniques, both analog and digital, I also realize the need to sustain new art-making methods. Having the chance to take part in critical discussions based on conceptual issues as well as technical issues clearly are all essential matters to my maintaining a contemporary perspective as a participating artist.

With each of my new art and design projects, the goal to develop a solution that is viewed exclusively as unprecedented seems nonessential, and is of no interest to me. What does interest me and motivate me as an artist is the appeal to produce inspired art and design.
