"This series of paintings focuses on color shifts and transpositions resulting in clashes and/or conjunctions of hues with each other. The compositions are based generally on four, predetermined colors that are rearranged in a quasi-spiral format. Each color is painted in separately in its designated area. As the painting resolves itself, chance and surprise are the new operatives."

James Juszczyk is committed to rigor, intensity, patience and perception. His work is unique for its melding of concepts from Constructivism, Zen Haiku and Perception Theory with a painterly tradition he shares with Mondrian, Rothko and Reinhardt. While the work remains firmly rooted in abstraction, Juszczyk's penetrating sense of the metaphysical brings his chromatic fields into transcendent and profound relationships which may rightly be called sublime.

Juszczyk was born in 1943 in Chicago, Illinois. He studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts and at the University of Pennsylvania where he graduated with a Master of Fine Arts. In 1995 Juszczyk was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant in painting.

In 1969, after completing his studies, he set up his first studio in Brooklyn, New York, were he embarked upon the adventure of abstract painting by developing a sensitive dialog between format and color. Over the course of thirty years Juszczyk has cultivated and refined the foundations of his painting style and has let his insights flow into developing a series of classical formats to hold his unique color vision.

Recently Juszczyk has had his work included in "SEEING RED" An International Exhibition of Nonobjective Paintings at the Hunter College/Time Square Gallery in New York. His paintings a currently represented by Bohem Press, Galerie Moderne Kunst, in Zürich, Switzerland.
