About
Jim Fenzel is a Connecticut-based painter who uses bold color, crisp lines, and geometric shapes to depict architecture from urban to rural, grand to mundane. In The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jane Jacobs explains the lack of illustrations in her book by imploring readers to look at real cities, and “[w]hile you are looking, you might as well also listen, linger and think about what you see.” Jim uses architectural works and human characters in his paintings to depict scenes of power, loneliness, comfort, and wonder.
Jim earned a Master’s of Architecture from Pratt Institute in 2011. His work has appeared in juried shows and private collections throughout New England. Jim is an Associate member of the Kingston Gallery, Boston.
