JAMES STEWART SOLO EXHIBITION


COOMBE gallery


‘AN ALTERNATE VIEW’ Private view : Dartmouth Galleries Night 27th May 2016


James has always found himself intrigued by the less obvious views of familiar places. The back of the Statue of Liberty or what is behind you when viewing the Eiffel tower. With his ‘It’s only paint’ exhibition, at Coombe Gallery in 2011, he also championed the everyday objects of the home or garden. A light bulb, a glass of water or a jar of wooden spoons and painted them with conviction. The familiarity to us makes them often overseen but also comforting as they are part of our everyday lives.


‘Evening sun, Sandymouth’ by Clark Nicol H:40 x W:100cms - Acrylics on canvas


Watering Can


Nuclear bunker, Salcombe Slaughterhouse


With this exhibition, James is returning to this theme. An exhibition of still life’s from the home and carefully chosen landscapes of the South Hams. Nuclear bunkers, coastguard huts and a slaughterhouse all feature, as they are as much part of


our landscape as are the usual familiar views of Blackpool sands. However, they are often overlooked as subject matter by the commercial artist but they are part of our subliminal landscape and possess their own quiet grandeur. From small paintings of wildflowers in vases to large works of Swiss Cheeseplants there will be a range of work to suit all tastes and budget.


Succulents Start Point


Art should be collected for the love of the work but affordable too. With this exhibition James has worked hard to make the work approachable yet still unique in its alternate view of the familiar. The exhibition runs from 27th May until 19th June 2016.
