Ann-Marie James

Biography

Through repetition, obfuscation, abstraction and the exploration of material process, Ann-Marie james re-contextualises and transforms source imagery to produce new hybrids. 

Ann-Marie James is interested in the way in which found images of works from antiquity and art history might be used to investigate her own responses to individual works, their themes and origins. Through repetition, obfuscation, abstraction and the exploration of material process, source imagery is re-contextualised and transformed to produce new hybrids. Her paintings in acrylic and oil are built up through layer upon layer of materials and techniques, as well as references to the history of the discipline.
