In his paintings of recent years, Jim Thalassoudis explored a combination of industrial and natural landscapes, often encasing these elements within a large gilt frame or adjacent to gilded panels. The paintings played on the idea of possession and control of what is impossible - to capture a cloud and encase it in an enormous structure. His more recent work, however, sees the paintings entirely liberated from their large entrapping enclosures, and instead focusing on the freedom, vastness and transitory beauty of the Australian landscape and sky.

"My paintings result from the intense observation of the sky and its minute changes. The passing of another day, looking west into the setting sun, the fleeting moment, beguiling us to want it to last longer. That instant is frozen on canvas, the time just prior to or soon after sunset, capturing the subtle colour shifts at the end of the day."

Thalassoudis has exhibited extensively in Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne as well as overseas shows in Hong Kong, Singapore and New York. His work is represented in numerous collections including Parliament House (Canberra), Art Gallery of South Australia, Artbank, University of South Australia Art Museum, Gold Coast City Art Gallery and many corporate and private collections.
