  Jim Butler On often large canvases Jim Butler meticulously paints seemingly insignificant objects which he places against a plain white background. By enlarging and focusing on these objects, they come to carry a new meaning as they are being transformed from physical objects into a two dimensional image. This shift brings along associations, and more often reflects the references and thoughts of the viewer than some obvious intention of the artist. Jim Butler was born in Boston, USA in 1956. Since 1981 he is professor of Art at Middlebury College in Vermont and he has been as visiting artist at institutions in USA as well as in Reykjavik, Iceland.
