James was born in Manchester in 1966
into an artistic family. At school he was considered outstanding and
from a very young age he was actually taken out of lessons to paint.
He received commissions from staff and parents and as a teenager he
was runner up in a major art competition. So in the matter of a
career choice he says quite simply, "there was no choice!" James’s
powerful, ultra-stylish compositions stop us in our tracks as
effectively as the speeding Ferraris they portray. A striking
example of modern male success, James is talented, innovative and
competitive, with that traditional masculine weakness for the sexier
things in life – particularly fast cars. His images contrast the
myriad greys of sidewalks and skyscrapers with occasional ventures
towards the bolder end of the spectrum. To achieve this distinctive
look, James approached a bespoke pastel manufacturer and had over 50
different shades of grey individually created ranging from oyster to
ash, from iron to dove, from seawashed pebbles to cloudy skies.
These allow him to describe every nuance of concrete, smoke and sky
to stunning effect with minimal use of the more conventional range
of colours, a stylistic achievement which has won him a unique place
on the contemporary art market. |
