Terrell James (born 1955) is an abstract expressionist American artist known for paintings, prints and sculptures.  Recognized for her interpretations of natural forms and original use of color and mineral patina, James’ practice often extends beyond conventionally-supported canvas and linen into engagements with novel methods and media.   The results, including her Field Studies (numbering more than 800 unique pieces), her large-scale interrogations of static or unused public spaces, and an extensive body of small bronze castings, underline her deep interests in immediacy, sensation, impermanence and their mutual boundaries.  James lives and works in Houston, Texas.

Terrell James’ boldly colored, highly gestural paintings are typically produced on stretched canvas or linen using oil, acrylic and/or various custom-formulated pigments.  Although their scale is usually moderate (such as 60”x 60”), they have on occasion ranged up to twenty feet in width (240”x 84”), and up to 20’ in height (72”x 240”), depending upon installation venue.  Regardless of size, James’ practice sponsors a lively play with color and depth, evincing her interest in dramatizing the gestural narrative of their creation. The work is highly allusive – to natural forms, urban geometries and technical artifacts, for instance – and may require a high degree of viewer-involvement in making sense of each piece.

'''Forrest Bess and Archival Research'''


From 1980 to 1985, Terrell James worked as a field collector and material archivist for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.   While in this position, she played a pivotal role in the rediscovery, cataloging and ultimately the exhibition of works by artist Forrest Bess.  This assignment included exhaustive research involving Bess’ family and contacts in Bay City, Texas, cataloging of correspondence related to the artist’s exhibition with New York gallerist Betty Parsons, and extended to organizing the 1987 exhibition of Forrest Bess’ paintings at Hiram Butler Gallery. This show led to the involvement of other galleries, such as New York’s  Hirschl & Adler Modern, and contributed to the revitalization of Bess’ career. Her research on Bess’ life and work was seminal to the posthumous emergence of his world-wide following.  In addition to original archival work, James has been integrally involved in the production of several films and books about him. James played the archetypal feminine figure of Forrest Bess in Jim Kanan’s 1987 film of Bess, ''Fishmonger'', in Chuck Smith’s ''Key to the Riddle'', and Robert Ziebell’s ''Forrest Bess''.

Terrell James

Terrell James (born 1955) is an abstract expressionist American artist known for paintings, prints and sculptures. Recognized for her interpretations of natural forms and original use of color and mineral patina, James’ practice often extends beyond conventionally-supported canvas and linen into engagements with novel methods and media.   The results, including her Field Studies[1] (numbering more than 800 unique pieces), her large-scale interrogations of static or unused public spaces, and an extensive body of small bronze castings, underline her deep interests in immediacy, sensation, impermanence and their mutual boundaries.  James lives and works in Houston, Texas.

Early Life and Education

A seventh generation Texan, Terrell James was born in Houston, Texas in 1955. Historically, her family has played a prominent role in Texas history.  James was named for her paternal ancestor, Alexander Watkins Terrell, whose career included legal work in Missouri, senior command in the army of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, and service as United States Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire.  Other notable ancestors include the founder of the City of San Marcos, Texas, and the designer of the Texas Governor’s Mansion (the “Texas White House").

Terrell James’ childhood was divided between New Orleans, Louisiana, and Houston, Texas, where she was broadly exposed to the culture of immigrant Hispanic families and became fluent in speaking Spanish.  In 1973, James studied painting and printmaking at, respectively, the Instituto Allende and the Ignacio Ramirez Cultural Center (Instituto de Belles Artes, Universidad de Mexico), both in San Miguel de Allende (Guanajuato, Mexico).   During 1973-77 James attended The University of the South in Sewanee Tennessee, where she continued her studies in painting and printmaking.

Artistic Practice

Painting

Terrell James’ boldly colored, highly gestural paintings are typically produced on stretched canvas or linen using oil, acrylic and/or various custom-formulated pigments.  Although their scale is usually moderate (such as 60”x 60”), they have on occasion ranged up to twenty feet in width (240”x 84”), and up to 20’ in height (72”x 240”), depending upon installation venue.  Regardless of size, James’ practice sponsors a lively play with color and depth, evincing her interest in dramatizing the gestural narrative of their creation. The work is highly allusive – to natural forms, urban geometries and technical artifacts, for instance – and may require a high degree of viewer-involvement in making sense of each piece[2].

Field Studies

Since 1997, James’ numbered series of “Field Studies” have tested painting and drawing by offering up works whose theme – aside from sheer beauty – is the success and stability of each one’s unique, delicate balance between completion and incompletion.  James’ Field Studies are often made synchronously with large-scale works, focusing upon color relationships at play in a secondary and more concentrated form. She has said that they are a means of referring directly to the process of painting.  Painted on translucent vellum, the series is named after the small notations of color traditionally made by landscape painters in preparation for the studio-completion of their large works (to assure fidelity of color to nature).  Of identical size, and (as of 2017) numbering more than 800, the Field Studies suggest the virtually infinite depth and extent of an individual’s apperception of light and color in nature and art.

Site Work

James is also known for large scale temporary site installations, beginning with “Sailpiece,” whose canvas, tarpaulins, netting and boat sails billowed above/across a downtown Houston street for 90 days during 1980’s Houston Festival (commissioned by the Festival).  Other site installations have included works produced in galleries, such as 2006’s massive installation of “Sea Room” at Froelick Gallery in Portland, and in various venues world-wide – such as the village-under-demolition Shenzen, China, where James was gratified to install large mural-sized works on the exteriors of homes soon-to-be-dynamited by the Beijing authorities (2015).  Also, in 2009, she had participated in the Save Berlin Festival by way of combining recovered pre-World War family photographs with recovered linen toweling and sacks in an installation at Stattbad Wedding.

Related Work

Forrest Bess and Archival Research

From 1980 to 1985, Terrell James worked as a field collector and material archivist for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.   While in this position, she played a pivotal role in the rediscovery, cataloging and ultimately the exhibition of works by artist Forrest Bess[3].  This assignment included exhaustive research involving Bess’ family and contacts in Bay City, Texas, cataloging of correspondence related to the artist’s exhibition with New York gallerist Betty Parsons, and extended to organizing the 1987 exhibition of Forrest Bess’ paintings at Hiram Butler Gallery. This show led to the involvement of other galleries, such as New York’s  Hirschl & Adler Modern, and contributed to the revitalization of Bess’ career. Her research on Bess’ life and work was seminal to the posthumous emergence of his world-wide following.  In addition to original archival work, James has been integrally involved in the production of several films and books about him. James played the archetypal feminine figure of Forrest Bess in Jim Kanan’s 1987 film of Bess, Fishmonger, in Chuck Smith’s Key to the Riddle, and Robert Ziebell’s Forrest Bess.

Teaching

From 1991 to 2004, James held a teaching position in the Painting Department at Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and was concurrently a Professor of Art at St. Thomas University from 1995 to 1997. James was the Department Chair of Painting at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, from 1998 until 2004. In 2004 she left Glassell and returned to her studio full-time. In recent years, James' role in education has extended to commentary on important art figures by way of newspapers, magazines and other media[4][5][6].
