"Bringing the Museum to You"

By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter James Biggers (born 1944 in Wichita, Kansas).

 

James Biggers is never satisfied painting the same subject in the same way.  He forced himself to learn and see more while constantly searching for inspirations and techniques to give his paintings essence. As a kid who stayed in at recess to work on his drawings, James started then to learn the skills that would be the journey of his life.

 

James graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree before moving to Colorado where he now resides and pursues his passion for painting.  A strong sense of design that is evident in his paintings was developed during his work as a commercial artist. Father Walsh who was a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, along with Richard Schmid were great influences.  

 

James's philosophy of art reflects his belief that the best way to capture the heart of a subject is to paint from life and to continually search for new subject matter. Extensive travel has fed this desire in him. 

 

Wanting more than a breathtaking scene to paint, James's goal is to portray the essence of the emotion.  He strives to give his paintings depth so that the viewer can go beyond what initially drew them in to the work of art.
