James Zver (Los Angeles) earned a BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Cornell University. Over the course of his career Zver has worked in many media, including painting, photography, sculpture and collage.
His most recent work has focused on wood constructions, in the form of wall reliefs and free standing sculptures, and paper collage that incorporates pastels, charcoal and india ink.
These two bodies of work have much in common at first glance however Zver explains that his collages “are less about the abrupt shifts of surface and unexpected juxtapositions” found in his sculpture “and more involved with poetic associations, implications, and suggestion.”
Zver has exhibited widely in New York and Los Angeles.
