Jim Carrey  Canadian-American actor, comedian, painter
Jim Carrey has been drawing and painting since he was a kid. And for several years now, Carrey has been making art that is as expressive and emotive as his work as an actor. When he is not involved in new movie projects much of his time is spent in his New York art studio.

James Eugene Carrey (1962) is a Canadian-American actor, comedian, painter, screenwriter, and producer. He is not a man to do things by halves—at least not when it comes to his art. For the last six years, he has thrown himself into painting, working so prolifically that some might mistake his home for a museum. The actor showcased the fruits of his labor in “Sunshower,” a solo exhibition at the Signature Gallery Group‘s Las Vegas gallery.

“There’s not a day that goes by that I’m not covered in paint or something from doing sculptures,” Carrey said. “It’s all about that for me now—being completely involved, heart, mind, and soul. Sometimes it’s art, sometimes it’s performance, and sometimes it’s just talking to someone.”

The way Carrey talks about his work, art sounds less like something he makes and more like something that happens to him. “Making art in general is not really a choice,” he said. “I’m being painted and I’m being expressed and I’m being created, and there’s little me involved.”

Carrey had kept his art project relatively quiet. That is, until last month, when Signature released “I Needed Color,” a six-minute documentary showing the comedian at work in his studio. Speaking to W, Carrey admitted that he released the film, in part, to reveal to his fans what he had been up to in recent years, a time with relatively few acting projects on his résumé.
