It is the rich, vibrant colors that first catch the eye-along with the Old World shapes. Most often those are bell shapes that have been decorated with intricate designs drawn from American folk art. Each charming piece of Jim Shore’s will have several patterns worked together within the shape to completely fill the whole surface. Yet due to the use of simple, graceful lines between the various patterns and on the shapes themselves, the pieces never look cluttered. more…
… continued So carefully have the Jim Shore Christmas figurines been crafted the viewer is able to enjoy the symetry and balance, along with the incredible colors.
Jim Shore’s love for the art he creates is apparent to even the most casual viewer. “I can’t imagine ever tiring of this,” he says. “I get to create two designs every time I develop a new piece-what the item will be and what colors and patterns will go on it. The variety keeps me inspired.” That wonderful variety keeps the inspired figurine lover looking and taking them home to be enjoyed over and over.
It’s the marriage of the Old World decorative style with the American folk art themes that refreshes this art. The old and the new in a harmonious whole that charms. The old depicted in new ways.
See the face of the lion lying with the lamb in Peace and Love. Smile at two-faced Scrooge bah-humbugging on one side and Merry Christmasing on the other. Or Santa holding switches for the bad kids (as if there ever were any) and a bag of goodies in the other.
Of all the Jim Shore Christmas figurines, don’t miss The Twelve days of Christmas, where Santa’s bell is cut away in front to show a symbol for each of those twelve days painted on the garment under the bell. See the many angels, all in the most marvelous array of colors. See Santa, kneeling before the Baby Jesus. See all of Jim Shore’s inspired work.
