JIM MORPHESIS Born 1948, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania B.A. Tyler School of Art of Temple University, 1970 M.A. California Institute of the Arts, 1971 *** "My painting process is a kind of excavation. Images cut into the surface are painted over and rediscovered many times before each painting is completed. Every work offers a mystery and the opportunity for exploration and personal discovery. The process is perpetual. I am interested in creating paintings that not only call attention to themselves, but allow the viewer the space to respond to sensibilities arising from his or her experiences of the works. Thus, the viewer becomes a participant in the total process." ***
