About The Work
Jim Isermann explores modernism’s exhausted modes of expression—especially hard edge abstraction. For over thirty years, employing installation, sculpture, and painting, Jim Isermann perseveres in conflating camp strategies with the tenets of modernism into works that often depend on a rigorous system of mathematical codes. The lightness of Jim Isermann’s drawings on graph paper, whose delicacy is emphasized by their hanging on wall magnets, is very singular of the artist's practice. While each work hints at an inexhaustible list of iterations, their agency comes from the failure/near impossibility to hand-paint the sublime represented by mathematical codes and geometry.
