This is an abstract architectural painting, based on the City of London which I have photographed. This photographs are then added into a series of layers which create the drawing element of the work. The colours in the painting come from images and shapes taken from photography in various London Tube Stations. These are abstracted and edited on photoshop before being stencilled onto the painting with the colour applied using an airbrush. I try to get the viewer of the work to think about where they stand when they enter a new space, navigating and exploring their way around a new area. The painting is aimed at enticing the viewer to explore the image, then come back for another view. Split battens are attached to the back of the aluminium for wall hanging.

James Collins, Based in East Kent. All artwork for sale is available to view by appointment prior to purchase. To see the work in progress please see my YouTube page: https://youtube.com/ We see architecture, geometry and shapes everyday. I want to explore the idea of adding architecture to a two-dimensional painting plane. I work with architectural sources, that may only be related by the architectural content. The idea of integrating unrelated elements is a focus of my work. I layer images of architectural imagery, which will only be related by the architectural content. I attempt within my practice to find relationships within the images by the way I layer them to integrate the unrelated elements. Currently my work is exploring the idea of a space within a space. I am not designing a space to paint, but trying to form intuitive spaces composed of nascent geometries and architectural compositions. By exploring the relationship between three-dimensional geometry and it's compression into two-dimensions and by playing with the illusionary potential of three-dimensional elements. I want the viewer of the work to look, and work out the relationships between the different geometry's. With the viewer potentially creating three-dimensional spaces in their mind as they study my paintings. Short Biography James Collins (b. 1988) holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury; a Master of Arts, Fine Art from the University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury; and a PGCE in Art & Design from Canterbury Christ Church University. Exhibitions include Sensing Spaces (Group Show) Construction Site (Solo Show), Curious/Dubious (Group Show), Cognition (Group Show), and student shows at UCA Canterbury and Cyprus College of Art, Paphos.
