Vincent James

Vincent James uses objects appropriated from cartoons to make sculpture, collage and animation. In his work props dislocated from different cartoon worlds collide, creating surreal and whimsical interactions.

Since completing an MA at Goldsmiths, Vincent has shown nationally and internationally including exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles and Athens. Among his exhibitions are Sew What?, a solo show at Studio 2, Todmorden, a residency for Art Fair Suomi, Helsinki and Assembly a Yorkshire Sculptors Group show at Wakefield Cathedral. His work has been selected for Leeds and Braziers International Film Festivals and in 2023 he was commissioned to make an animated installation for SPECTRA, Scotland's festival of light, in Aberdeen.

    Bruce Beasley: Advocate IV

    Inspired by geometric forms, Beasley’s sculptures are often made up of these shapes, and in particular cubes. He uses computer software to design three-dimensional forms without the constraints of gravity. These configurations are then translated into bronze. As with Advocate IV which appears to be balancing, the design method contributes to the precarious appearance of Beasley’s sculptures.
