James Ulmer’s paintings utilize a rudimentary vocabulary that is simple and universal. Whether people or animals, still lifes or landscapes, the artist's work renders childlike elements with sophistication and a minimalist restraint. Based in Queens, the artist received a BFA in Illustration and Design at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and has presented work at venues including V1 Gallery (Copenhagen, DK), The Pit ( Los Angles), The Hole (New York, NY), Salon 94 (New York, NY), Jeffrey Deitch (New York, NY) and Chart Gallery (New York, NY).
