Biography from AskART:
| Brooklyn-based artist, James Esber paints with Plasticine, a pigmented modeling material that adheres to the wall in low relief and never dries completely. His technique confuses painting and sculpture, creating a low relief.
Using taboo subjects, sexism and racism, he gathers images from popular American sources and "pulls, plys and distorts".
He has used Norman Rockwell images "and late-1960's doe-eyed figurines," (Lowenstein 2005) on canvas and Plasticine wall reliefs.
