ARTIST STATEMENT
If
something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then
eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not
boring at all." --John Cage.
This quote
has been a catalyst for my work for the past eleven years. When I am stuck in
traffic or dropping my children off at school I often wonder how people are
going to spend their days. Mine are spent wearing a respirator and noise cancelling
headphones creating work that is hopefully stretching the boundaries of the
very genre in which it resides. Art that has the biggest impact on me is work
that conjures questions of your perception of things you thought you already knew. Perhaps it is taking something
incredibly simple and looking at it in a very complex manner. If my work is
successful on any level it will create a visual pause. Demanding the viewer to
take a closer look. In a society that is so enamored with having everything
immediately, making work that reacts against this is my ultimate goal.
BIOGRAPHY
James
Busby received his MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. He has exhibited
his works in solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries including Kravets|Wehby
Gallery, Stux Gallery, NY, The Chelsea Art Museum, NY, The Armory Show, NY, Scope
New York, University of Richmond Museum,Virginia, New Gallery, TX, VCU
University, VA, the Millennium Arts Center for the WPA/Corcoran Biennial, DC
and most recently at Galerie Jean-Luc & Takako Richard, Paris, FR. Busby’s
work plays on the tension between the senses of vision and of touch, these
tactile surfaces catch and reflect light in a way that shifts constantly, in
response to the position of the viewer. What at first appear to be very
improvisational, even casual gestures and residual brushstrokes are transformed
into ciphers that refer to painterliness, rather than being it. The phantom of
intentionality hovers over these works, and the longer one looks, the more
difficult it is to determine which marks were accidental, and which might have
been deliberate. This reframing of the element of chance is integral to the
critical depth of these works, as they continuously enfold conceptual strength
in perceptual indeterminacy.
