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.

    Serge Spitzer: Untitled

    The sculpture creates, encloses and protects its own interior, which can be glimpsed through the spaces held open by rubber pads. Spitzer chose to reflect upon the character and history of the location for his sculpture and to encourage active looking and questioning. It is not immediately clear if the beam emerges from, or supports, the quarry face. When seen from different angles, the sculpture creates different senses of stability and balance, of open and closed spaces.
