In Jeremy Prim's contemporary artworks, the meeting of sky and sea is portrayed through multiple horizon lines, symbolizing the ceaseless rhythm of the ocean. As the colors blend and collide, the viewer is immersed in the almost tangible cadence of the sea, with layers of calming blues exploring an emotionally resonant palette. Prim's paintings, while expressive in their rhythm, maintain precision and power. His work is a harmonious blend of the abstract and figurative, with a focus on minimalist seascapes that draw inspiration from the serene beauty of the ocean and the profound solitude it evokes.
Prim's oil paintings, rather than being purely representational, are deeply emotive and rooted in the inspiration drawn from the Pacific coastline. Each painting is created using many thin layers of translucent oil paint tempered with cold wax. This process washes the artwork with a sense of foreshortening, bringing the viewer into the vastness of Prim’s subject.
Prim is based in Seattle, Washington, and is inspired by his surroundings: “The paintings I create are evocative of the Pacific Northwest coast” states the artist. While referentially specific the paintings capture more than a singular scene “They are a collective of physical and sensory reinterpretations of the Pacific, primarily derived from memory and intuition.”
