Moments are what artist and roving restaurateur Jim Denevan specializes in. He was first brought to our attention through his traveling dining experience, Outstanding in the Field. Where diners dined at the source of the food and farm to table were just a few feet apart. Denevan’s art shares similarities to Outstanding in the Field, it’s site specific, it’s impermanent, and the process from start to finish takes place in one location. His large scale drawings are astonishing. Imprints of shapes, quite often circles, dot beaches, desert landscapes, and frozen lakes. Without proper documentation of his work, they would be lost forever. In 2010, Denevan and his team ventured to Siberia where he would execute the largest drawing ever on the surface of Lake Baikal, the oldest and deepest lake in the world. A film and book will be released documenting the artwork. “Jim Denevan: Lake Baikal” will make its debut this week at the Hamptons International Film Festival.
