Jim McElvaney is an expressionist portrait artist working across several disciplines including painting, drawing and print making. Jim is fascinated with the way we look at people, and the stories we create when watching strangers. His work aims to capture both the anonymity and familiarity of the faces we usually only ever glimpse at. As far as technique goes, Jim is a true mark maker, and his work follows an instinctual line. This is particularly present in his mono prints, where the entire process is absorbed for the viewer to track and trace across the page.
