‘THIS ENGLAND?’ Solo exhibition by James Stewart
CO O MB E gallery

Opening on Galleries night Friday 17th on Saturday 25th
the Food Festival from 10am- 1pm.
ith ‘THIS ENGLAND?’ James is taking a wry glance at our towns and landscapes.
Stylistically inspired by children’s book illustration, James has taken this technique and adapted it to his own style of illustrative painting. The subject matters can sometimes be just a loving and gentle look at a simple landscape. However with other works James allows a subversive yet fond lens filter his memories of favoured English scenes.
Power Station
Dartmoor Prison, an archetypal English castle, allotments and a bird’s eye view of London all feature in James’s work. The changing landscape of factories giving way to wind farms also show his interest in how the places we know will adapt and our understanding of place can often be out of sync with reality. Whether this matters depends on our association with a place through our history with it
or our perception of it through the way it is portrayed. We may also have a keen sense of a place that we may never have visited such as the white cliffs of Dover or Blackpool pier. The strength of the artist’s imagination is that they can portray these places with a kernel of truth that provides us with a recognition of it yet then subvert and add to it to present a new experience of it.
