Jim Hodges was born in 1957 in Sopkane Washington; lives and works between Milan and New York. 

Jim Hodges is known for his ability to transmit emotions and narratives to everyday objects, creating poignant and delicate artworks based on temporality, on life and on love, gaining inspiration from nature and from its lexicon. From the very first delicate wall sculpture, to the big pictures of flourishing trees, to the use of golden leaves and of the mirrored mosaics of the years 2000, Hodges’ art practice generates from humble and simple materials that are transformed through the artist’s touch. These delicate actions of transformation, that unify drawing and sculpture, represent evocative memories of desire and loss and the construction of a new identity.
