Скачать или смотреть 1000 Watts | Jim Watt | TEDxAsburyPark

Joy is expressed through 1000 ink washes, painted with Japanese Sumi ink and water on paper, created in conversation with improvisational jazz trumpeter Antoine Drye and bassist Mike Noordzy. Jim Watt is an American artist and architect based in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Watt’s paintings and drawings are an obsessive exploration of space, form and material, a context that marries his work as a practicing architect. At Princeton University, where Watt earned his Masters in Architecture, teachers Michael Graves and Enrique Miralles espoused the Renaissance notion that architects must paint, draw, and sculpt to fully realize their ideas. Form, space, material, texture, color, and light are shared languages that transcend medium. Watt’s work as an artist is the opportunity to work without a structured, planned intention, instead playing in the tension between thought and instinct: discovery through the process of making.

Watt has a body of built buildings spanning North America, and his art is in private collections across North America and Europe. His work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Dwell Magazine, and The New York Times. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
