About the Artist
James Demski is a Milwaukee-based artist also known by the moniker “Jimbot.” His art takes you into other worlds where the unusual can happen, beauty is around us, and your daydreams can become a reality.
What exactly is happening is often left up to the viewer’s interpretations and how they view the clues left behind by the artist. He creates these worlds to escape to, and for the viewers to enjoy. James uses acrylic paint, dry transfer letters, pencil and ink to convey his thoughts, and wants the viewer to enjoy his works as much as he enjoyed creating them.
This is Jimbot's seventh solo show at Rotofugi.
Note from the Artist
This body of work — Method for Panic Attacks — represents something very special to me. It marks a new direction and new explorations, but not for reasons you might think.
A few years ago, I had some bad physical health issues, and that in turn pushed my already extremely crippling mental health issues into some very dark places. As a result, I ended up not being able to create how I was used to creating.
My hands wouldn't work like they used to, my mind was not well, and I gave up creating for almost two years thinking that I was done making art for at least the foreseeable future.
But something happened.
If you are familiar with my work, you might notice that it has taken a bit of a different direction. My paintings are generally bigger and/or looser, and I am doing MUCH more sculpture. I decided to start working WITH what was happening to me, instead of against it, and adapt what I did.
Creating is just too much a part of who I am. I started following paths that I had always wanted to follow, and started creating work that could tolerate my now shaky hands, and help me with my depression and anxiety. I couldn't create like I used to, but I decided that it wasn't a BAD thing ... just the NEXT thing. I began to enjoy my work again, and having fun with my art. I felt like I was again doing what I was meant to be doing. This work is the result of that journey.
I hope you enjoy this batch of work .... I am very proud of it.
