Collection: Jim Sanders

Sanders works within the genre of Outsider and Primitive Art in his home in the south of England. Here he has built a very special spiritual universe based on mysterious rituals and unknown forces.

This gives his works a captivating character, and as a viewer you are overwhelmed by the many details and the energy they emit. Jim works with collage, tea, acrylic and ink, on anything he can find of materials. It can be newspapers, canvas, leaves, maps, wood, skeletons, feathers, jewelry, and metal.

His themes are monumental – religion, birth, love, sex, and death – and draw past, present and future into a single landscape of existence. Sanders lives in Brighton just down a small, quiet street, behind a brightly painted front door that serves as a spiritual and literal entrance to his own Shangri-La.
