Abend Gallery kicks off summer celebrating Jim Beckner in a One Man Show. Beckner’s art vibrates with the pulse of the city. His edgy and energetic paintings give one a sense of motion, and though his subject is gritty, the colors with which he achieves this feeling are far from muddy. Cityscapes are his chosen subject matter for this show; however it is not a theme he adheres to exclusively. He spends time painting landscapes, figures, and still life; yet urban scenes are perhaps some of his most recognizable canvases. Beckner plans out every canvas to completion in his mind before he lays in even one brushstroke, and has meticulously defined and refined these paintings over weeks and months to create an exhibit full of individual works of art that harmonize as one.
