Artist Statement:
Jim Collins is primarily a
Public Art sculptor working in
a figurative manner, best
exemplified by his long
running series the WATCHER.
His sculpture style has been
characterized by the use of
silhouettes of people and
animals constructed of
stainless steel, aluminum and
other metals. Collins was a
Professor of Art at the
University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga from 1966 until
1983, when he resigned that
teaching position to devote
full time to his career as a
professional artist. He
received degrees from Marshall
University in West Virginia,
the University of Michigan,
and a M.F.A. degree in
sculpture from Ohio
University. There is more
information in the Dictionary
of American Sculptors and
Who’s Who in American Art.
People love seeing things in
the art world that are easy to
identify. However, most
people treasure art that is
challenging in its
interpretation. Art is
important when it is based on
sound historic forms together
with fine craftsmanship. So,
that is the theme of my
sculpture.
In 2004 I finished a (four
part) major sculpture
commission for County Limerick
in Ireland that has become
landmarks for two communities
of Adare and Limerick, as well
as, the road to Dublin...
