Sitting in Barrow Street
1988
"Sitting in Barrow Street" is a mixed media work by Jim Dine employing graphite, watercolour, oil, shellac, charcoal, and pastel on paper, demonstrating his characteristic layering of materials to create rich textural and chromatic effects. The tripartite composition presented in the artist's frame suggests a narrative or sequential quality, inviting the viewer to engage with the work as an extended visual statement rather than a singular image. Dine's approach to combining traditional drawing materials with painting media reflects his broader artistic practice of breaking down boundaries between disciplines and emphasizing the expressive potential of the mark and the material itself.
