James Gemmill. An Exhibition.

Weekdays 4pm – 7pm | Weekends 11am – 4pm*
* Exhibition opening Friday 5 June: 6pm-8pm

I was captivated by James’ art as soon as I “discovered” this a few years back.  Physically and texturally, his paintings are layer upon layer of material.  Metaphorically, there is so much to decipher in this shrouded complex and philosophical creative process.  James is a socially-engaged artist, whose work is more often than not imbued with underlying humanitarian thought, whilst allowing the opportunity for personal interpretation. – Michelle Castelletti

Oxfordshire-based artist James Gemmill has a wide-ranging artistic career, working in film, television, and design, as well as in the more traditional context of gallery artist. HIs paintings are held in distinctly prestigious collections in different countries. Gemmill’s life as a working artist is now a culmination of the knowledge gained through studio painting, film art, design and being around engineers, clients, and patrons. He has been commissioned large works in the cinematic world.  James never knows what he will be creating from one day to the next. The size, medium, and location are always in flux. The possibilities are endless and exciting.
