Jimmie Durham — Colorado 83
Jimmie Durham

Colorado 83

A weathered board serves as the foundation for this layered mixed media work, where Durham weaves together disparate materials and marks into a cohesive yet restless composition. True to his practice of challenging Western conventions of art and identity, the piece blends found objects, text, and painted elements that reflect on land, history, and cultural displacement. The title's geographic reference subtly invokes questions of territory and belonging that run throughout Durham's broader body of work.
