First Friday's at Cézanne

Related Organization: Cézanne

Join us for First Fridays at Cézanne as we welcome renowned artist Jim Sajovic with his newest exhibition: Energy, Passion, Ecstasy — a vivid exploration of color, space, and emotion.


Jim Sajovic was born in Chicago and studied painting at the University of Illinois and the University of Florida. He is a recipient of a Mid-America Arts Alliance/NEA Fellowship Award in Painting and is Professor Emeritus at the Kansas City Art Institute, where he influenced generations of artists. Sajovic’s works are held in public and private collections throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. His paintings have been exhibited widely — in cities including New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Edinburgh, Paris, Milan, Rome, and Venice. His art has been featured in Art in America, Flash Art, New American Paintings, Kansas City Studio Magazine, and the book Notes for a Young Painter (Prentice-Hall), among other publications. His recent paintings present shifting fields, optical phenomena, color interaction, and spatial ambiguity — all working together to suggest energy fields, passion, and transcendent states.
