| Jay Shinn at Barbara Davis Gallery by June Mattingly // regularmain.com Shinn’s trademark are thin stainless steel rods constructed in a way to decisively cast shadows onto walls painted a barely noticeable warm gray color making the room a calming shadow by itself. Almost as unnoticeable is the fact that many of the shadows in these spatial studies emanating from simply composed objects are painted on the wall as well. Thus, the shadows, working in collaboration with the physical presence in these ultra-minimal wall sculpture installations, are the intrinsic element. |

| Who can say it more directly than the artist? “Altering the light and surroundings provides for several images from one form. Through all of this, no one image is final. A semifinal stage is where my time with the work ends. The work continues its process.” |
| Corporate collections his art is included, One Arts Plaza Dallas, Microsoft Corp. W Hotels and Neiman-Marcus. Shinn studied at the Skowhegan School in Maine, the New York School of Visual Arts and his MFA comes from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1982. |
