			This new body of work is about James’ reflection on the Great Masters and their masterpieces, classical and contemporary artists as seen from a 21st century perspective, reinvention,
transcription, iconic references and influences.  Life today as a painter.
James graduated in 1977 and set up a printing business under the name of ‘Little James’ in the the heart of Chelsea, printing provocative T shirts, posters and canvasses.  This project continued until the early 1980’s, when everything changed once again, with the arrival of hip-hop and new wave on the London scene.
James seeing an opportunity, turned his hand to the art of flyers and club promotion, and began a now legendary residency at Crazy Larry’s on the Kings Road, seeing in the new wave rave revolution until the beginning of the 1990’s, when he left the Kings Road for New York City.
A period of Rock n Roll, Hall of Fame and the Bowry C.B.G.B’s ensued, with commissions and exhibitions slotted in throughout, and then a return to London for the new millennium.
Exhibition runs through to June 23rd, 2013
