James, do not take my comments as in any way negative! After a year of Youtube surfing and net search and a totally miserable experience in Saatchi chat I find your videos the best. I just wish there were more!

@ALTHEGREAT101 Then you should check out my new channel jameskalmroughcut where I'm doing shorter and more un-edited programing almost daily.

Gees, over 400 online vids and it's not enough?...... Stay tuned.

A wet dream for all decorators of bank lobbies and dentist office waiting rooms...

in a nutshell.

the first 2 paintings reminds me of disease spreading... not appealing in thought but beatiful on canvas.

Kalm is my source for NY; I wish he would cover an Ivan Karp opening........... How can you determine styles/trends and activity in different cities?

[jameskalm]

@ALTHEGREAT101 I hate to disillusion you but, Ivan is pretty much out of the art scene these days. His son, a nice guy, has taken over the gallery and it's now more of a commercial art mall and cigar store.

"How can you determine styles/trends and activity in different cities?" Through visits, reading art mags and the internet, listening to friends and seeing what pops up here in New York. But I can't follow everything.

whats the dif between abstract and nonobjectiv,

and zombie bank is for me amazing, is some of the paint sprayed on?

[jameskalm]

@thing4asians Basically abstract art is nonobjective, however some people believe that you have to begin with something in "reality" then boil it down. Others just start with an abstract idea. I think the in "Zombie Bank" the soft color fades are staining pigment into wet raw canvas, but there could be some spray paint on it too.
