James Siena is a New York painter/printmaker who was for many years an artist’s artist and a well kept secret of the New York art scene. Siena builds complex quirky geometries based on defined instruction sets (algorithms) that amount to a kind of cowboy visual mathematics.

“Mr. Siena’s paintings transcend painting to encroach on mathematics, puzzles, manuscript illumination and maps. They elude Western art to evoke Andean textiles, Chinese bronzes, African bark paintings, Persian screens, jewelry and glass-making and calligraphy. These disparate associations, more carefully isolated and combined in individual works than previously in Mr. Siena’s art, make this savvy re-arrival the best show of his career.” Roberta Smith, The New York Times
