  James Nares - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Nares (April 19, 1715 - February 10, 1783) was an English composer of mostly sacred vocal works, though he also composed for the harpsichord and organ.
In 1756, he became organist and composer to George III at the Chapel Royal.
It is believed that Nares was the first person to systematically publish a series of keyboard lessons for students of the piano.

Nares uses a squeegee to remove wet paint and to wipe away unsuccessful gestures, as he works to vary the rhythm and speed of his brush to produce the perfect stoke.
Nares’ paintings and the process he uses to make them embody a kind of paradox of spontaneity and control.
Nares’ paintings are elegantly calligraphic; yet, at the same time, they exude a kind of cartoon zaniness.

 Goss Gallery: James Nares. New Work
James Nares was born 1953 in London, England and has been living and working in New York since 1974.
Before creating his works of art, Nares must first produce his own unique, over-sized brushes, which are made with everything from feathers to horse hair, giving his paintings a distinctive appearance and depth like no other.
These home-made brushes are of Nares own design and are hinged in such a way they follow the movement of his arm across the canvas, which he lays flat against the floor or table.

English born Nares, who played in seminal no wave band the Contortions and the Del-Byzanteens (with filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, Phil Kline, Phillipe Hagen and author Luc Sante), was one of the less prolific filmmakers of the time, but one of the more creative.
James Nares, on the other hand, mostly retired from film in the early 1980s and has found success as a painter.

James Nares' new paintings are joyous, musical gestures of jewel-toned color, springing from the balance of spontaneity and control.
Nares' painting process has been recently liberated by his creation of a unique studio "rig", which frees him to hover and glide above the canvas as he paints.
Using his signature handcrafted brushes, Nares' weightless dance creates swift, dramatic swoops and swishes, which seize and elongate instants of time and motion.

 ARTseenSOHO - James Nares at Paul Kasmin
"Nares attempts to approximate a paradox in his painting, striving for an effect that is at once calculated and impulsive, the product of rote repetition as well as instantaneous and decisive action.
Stepping back from the painting, he then assesses the quality of this apparently spontaneous gesture; more often than not, he doesn't like the result and wipes away the paint.
Nares repeates the process until he judges the effect successful." ---David Rimanelli

 Summer Show Standouts (washingtonpost.com)
Works by Nares and Michael, who will be sharing a two-person exhibition this fall, are emblematic of what gallery owner Annie Gawlak calls the "reserve" manifested by much of this show.
Cool without being cold, and with inordinate attention paid to their slick yet decadent surface textures, Michael's "Clone" series paintings (in which the artist attempts to create twin abstractions out of thickly puddled latex) are, in a sense, anti-Jackson-Pollocks.
The regimen involved in their creation, which incorporates pouring paint and then tilting the canvas in a pre-rehearsed choreography, may not sound spontaneous, but the works are nevertheless sexy in a clean, unkinky way.

Nares created a tornado-like catastrophe with a hand-held camera, a shooting ratio of three-to-one and remarkable timing.
We see only the objects floating through space and never the hands that propel them.
But Waiting for the Wind is more than a technical tour de force; it shapes a powerful paradox: filmmaking control is used to evoke the terror of a world completely out of personal control.

A survey at Hunter College, influenced by Josef Albers, starts with the psychology of color, but James Nares, Walter Biggs, Nancy Scheinman, and Gregg Stone have something else in mind.
With his shifting images, James Rosenquist could belong with Pop Art, political rebellion, or Surrealism.
In the hands of Michal Rovner, Dik Liu, Diane Samuels, Mark Sheinkman, Julian Stanczak, and Jennifer Steinkamp, it may still come with Postmodernism's cool, harsh light and awareness of a lost present.
