Jim Bird Artwork

Jim Bird (1937–2010) was an English painter who began as a graphic designer before moving to Spain in 1968 to pursue art full-time. He joined the renowned Galeria Joan Prats in Barcelona and later spent time in New York, forming close ties with Robert Motherwell and other leading abstractionists. Bird’s work, often described as the “landscape of the mind,” explored light, air, earth, and memory through gestural fields of color and texture. 

Exhibited internationally in Europe and the United States, his paintings were shown at Art Basel, the International Navy Pier Exposition in Chicago, and the International Print Biennale in England. Bird returned to Spain in 1997, where he lived and worked until his death in Catalonia in 2010.
