"Unknown Function" Print - Limited Edition of 50

James studied Fine Art (Painting) at Camberwell School of Art in London, graduating in 1988. Tutors and visiting artists included Ian McKeever RA, John Hilliard, Anish Kapoor RA, Eileen Cooper RA, Dr Jonathan Miller and Bruce Maclean.

He worked for a 'Big Four' Management Consultancy, freelanced at major London design agencies and contracted at the London International Financial Futures & Options Exchange (LIFFE) and helped create one of the UK’s first web design companies.

He set up James Atkins Studio in 1996 to create and develop brands, visual identities, design for print and websites for organisations in the UK, France, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, USA and Canada.

Throughout this time he continued to paint and make artworks but rarely exhibited his work. In the last few years Fine Art has once more become his focus, with a particular interest in those boundaries of traditional painting, drawing and digital art.

James has work in private collections in Australia, France, Italy, Ireland, Switzerland, Canada, USA, Singapore and the UK. He is currently based in Ariege, South West France and in Northamptonshire in the UK.
