Jim Thalassoudis Australian, b. 1962

“Jim Thalassoudis's art follows the soul's night journey and comes to life in urban cityscapes. His paintings delve into the artificial modern glow of sleeping cities and mesmerising, lurid skies coloured by the glare of the setting sun.” - Nelly Skoufatoglou
The lure of the lurid neon light glows at dusk, likewise prior to sunset the sky is magical before the mystery of the night begins. This moment where artificial light mixes with nature, is precisely what Jim Thalassoudis has been capturing on canvas with all its beauty, subtlety, and extreme detail. However, these luminous paintings of vintage neon signs are more than a homage to beauty, they capture and preserve a memory of a place and of a time.
