Jim Isermann

[1][2][3] He has participated in numerous exhibitions in art galleries and museum, and has also created large scale commissioned projects utilizing industrial manufacturing processes.

His work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Richard Telles, Los Angeles (2017, 2014, 2009, 2000, 1998, 1994),[4] Praz-Delavallade, Paris (2010), Corvi-Mora, London (2011), Mary Boone Gallery, New York (2011 & 2012) and others.

In 1997, with David Blomster, Isermann purchased a prefabricated steel and glass houses in Palm Springs that had been designed by Donald Wexler, and after refurbishing the building, eventually moved from Los Angeles to the property full time in 2000.

Stained glass panels, wall hangings of pieced fabric, woven textiles and hand-braided rugs are techniques that embrace a homey, lived-in, DIY aesthetic for objects, crossing art and design, functional and not.

"[11] In a revue of Isermann's 1994 retrospective of hand made objects including, a clock, a lamp, stained glass, shag rugs, and more Lisa Anne Auerbach writes, "Though these pieces border on craft, their high quality, size, and careful fabrication gives them an industrial air.

The acrylic yarn matches the enamel paint, and the design flows almost seamlessly among the different surfaces..." Arbauch goes on to write of Isermann's Quilts from 1994, "A one hundred year old, lifetime quilter could not have made seams more perfect, and if stitches were brush strokes, Dutch still lifes wouldn't even come close to the precision of these works.
