JIM DINE

Jim Dine is has a lot of titles under his belt, listed as: Painter, sculptor, photographer, illustrator, performance artist, and poet. He has now started to make an exhibition “Hot Dream”, which one of the sections features books hung from the ceiling from which the audience can interact with. Another section is dedicated to Pinocchio, Another just walls plastered with photography outtakes from the exhibition.

Jim Dines work is so versatile; working with many different medias and different aspects of his life. Some of the work he is most recognised for is his series of Tool drawings. This stemmed from his own personal interest in tools and how anonymous hands have made this item which allows other people to make things.

I really enjoy Jim Dines work as i feel like there is so much to look at and such a wide range of things to be interested in within his work. If sculpture captures your eye more than poetry then he has a choice of the two to look at. I adore his ability to be able to specialise in all these aspects of art and deliver them all with love to the point of being able to produce an exhibition; featuring all these skills.
