James Oliver (Redhill, UK) was studying art when his teachers strongly suggested he pursue a different career. And he did. But it didn’t take long for him to pick up art again.<\/p>\n

The exhibition presented a number of his characteristic „entity“ pieces. James buys old paintings and prints on flea markets, in charity shops and on ebay. Then he adds his minimalist, tower-like figures. It’s kind of cute, in a very eerie way. Or the other way around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition to these „entity“ pieces, James does collage work, often combined with overpaintings, and he takes apart toys and then puts them together again. Sort of like a 3D collage with toys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the exhibition, we had a „life-size“ entity made and took it on a tour through the city. After the exhibition, „Red“ moved to Hamburg to live with Christian Pfaff at Oberfett<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the gallery, James‘ work was a great backdrop for a concert by Guy Dale<\/a> (above). Below is the flyer, designed by Martin Leibinger, using one of James‘ works.<\/p>\n
