Austin Allen James

Austin began his art career in 1994 as a poet. His love for

playing with words and phrases and his love for color naturally

led him to experimenting with paint and motion. He started

painting in 1996 and exhibiting as a professional artist in 1997.

Austin believes that art is energy. Each human being has his or

her own unique form of energy. An artist is capable of

translating this energy into art. Austin’s pieces focus on organic

shapes, color, the natural flow of matter and motion. His MFA in

Poetry from Naropa University has infused a lyrical sensibility

into Austin’s work.

“I love color, movement and lyrics in my art. To be successful, the

art must be memorable when one turns away.”

Rivers

Neon flower, neon carousel

neon bombshell; swim hard

towards the fire place after a

sweet steam wrapped bubble

of dizzy southern charm

cream and yes, definitely dive

into the wood fiber and swim;

it’s a carriage, it’s a sleigh; it’s

a bottle bag of steel train and

mermaid musk swims the day.

A porcelain vessel of pink

flowers and mint gold and

champagne all hot and cold

and fussy. Eat cabbage and

designer shoes you dispenser

of the morning star electric

mist in the salt air; keep your

flesh vernal, white, blonde and

pink. Allow imperfection to

spin your skin rouge as you

fan towards the gulf and

disappear.

Sea Swell

The sea rolled and spit a toad

onto salty wet sand one billion

years before I met you. A yawn

intersection. What is it to loose a

tear: A sole drop. A current on

the far slope. What is it to find a

diamond rolled by the moon?

What is it to wrap arms and

yowl? Among the black forest

with the rock men and their funk

rhyme or rhythm or purpose;

until hunger uncovers the sea

swell, a second sky scape, a

sunset a portal.
