Jim Houser is a fantastic self-taught painter and installation artist, he uses a natural earthy mix of colours and captures a charming playfulness within his work. What fascinates me most about his work is the way he curates a space, his installation work brings the room to life whether it be a large mural or little details like a handmade object on a shelf. I was lucky enough to see his work at Colette in Paris – I now regret not buying one of his hand painted skateboards.
