Jim Flora
13. The Curiously Sinister Art of of Jim Flora
Dorian Grey Gallery presents first posthumous NYC exhibition of artist Jim Flora’s, Original paintings and Limited Editions.
James (Jim) Flora is best known for his wild 1940s-50s jazz album covers for Columbia Records and RCA Victor. Flora's fine art and music-related illustrations pulse with outlandish figures in cockeyed settings, like a children's book gone horribly awry. Yet his youthful exuberance is subverted by a tinge of the diabolic. Flora wreaked havoc with the laws of physics, conjuring flying musicians, levitating instruments, and wobbly
dimensional perspectives.
