Jim Ewing

Welcome! My work exists in a space of transformation and pressure, where forms hover between recognition and dissolution. Through dramatic lighting and deliberate color relationships, the paintings suspend meaning rather than resolve it. Clarity and explicit events are intentionally withheld and what remains is the residue of change. The moment after all we once knew has shifted. These works showcase the aftermath, where tension lingers quietly and form becomes a record of persistence rather than certainty.

Professional Background

Prior to focusing on painting, I worked for over a decade in photography and filmmaking, with experience across cinematography and film editing. My work has contributed to projects for companies including DreamWorks, Paramount Pictures, MTV, and BET. These experiences continue to inform my approach to composition, light, and visual tension within my painting practice.
