…was created by James M M Baldwin, artist, curator, speculative fiction author, poet, singer, songwriter and musician. He has created art under the brush-name Sergio de Companion since 2003. Beginning with abstract expressionism as a foundation for emotion in design, Sergio’s art has evolved into using shape and color to portray form and depth. Viewers recognize his colorful, linear stylized depictions of people and animals. In his lineal primary series, Sergio breaks form into fragments. He imagines his subjects as geometric shapes and divides them into smaller pieces, separating the pieces with space. Once he assembles those building blocks, he uses color to sharpen the object and create depth. Many of his other creations include 3-D paper mâché and found object embellishments. James has curated Omaha Gallery since early 2018. He has also produced and recorded three rock albums, and written and published two novels, two short story collections, and two poetry compilations.
