Lady in a Straw Hat Print

Paul James is a Manchester based artist and designer. Central to his practice is a belief in the freedom of creativity, spanning music, film, art, and design. A strong and varied narrative and bold use of form and colour is always present. His artwork reflect his varied interests, often taking form where science, philosophy, and spirituality all meet. A minimalistic approach is then taken to preserve the simplicity and essence of the message. His varied creative background means he is able to work with various mediums to find the most suitable approach to express his ideas, with the learning of necessary crafting techniques along the way being a key part of the practice. This maintains an ethos to always be learning, to further his creative freedom, and ultimately to inspire and be inspired.
