For Art Athina, Vincent James will create a large scale installation of paper cut-outs that cover the two large walls of PAPER's booth. Alongside these, Vincent will present animations, 2D work, and sculpture. The animations in this show were created during a 6 week residency at PAPER in the summer of 2015. Vincent James is best known for using cartoon imagery to create surreal sculptures, collages and animations. His work draws on an ever expanding catalogue of objects appropriated from cartoons. However, as world events continue to take a darker turn, this has been reflected in Vincent’s artwork. There is a post-apocalyptic feel to much of the work in this show, which features explosions, falling rubble and toxic waterfalls. Despite this, there is a sense of hope and a celebration of life emerging from the wreckage. In a new work created for Art Athina a flaming arrow is reflected in the fractured glass of a broken window. While collaged rubble falls from the sky the flickering flame could be part of the destruction or a glimmer of light in otherwise gloomy times.
After completing an MA at Goldsmiths in 1999, Vincent James has exhibited nationally and internationally. His work is part of the Touchstones Art Gallery Permanent Collection and Frederick R Weisman Art Foundation Collection, California. Visitors to Bury’s Light Night over the last three years will remember his site-specific installations projected into empty shop windows. Since his residency at PAPER has presented Vincent at The Manchester Contemporary and Sluice Art Fair.
