James has travelled extensively as an expedition artist to four continents, developing his portfolio of images through sketches and photography. He works on canvas, paper and wooden panel and just about any surface that is flat enough to print on. Fusing simplicity and chaos the paintings and prints are created using original screenprinted material, photographs, freehand drawing, text and collage. James revels in the interwoven and the undefined, the popular and the sublime. This huge diversity of life and style from around the world is translated through a mix of the figurative and the abstract - stained and distressed canvases are screenprinted with bold images, a flicker of text or the drawn line.
