James Talon

James Talon formally studied fine art early in life but by his own admission then spent the next 25 years of his life pissing about in music. Now he has returned to art and brought with him his wide cultural pop knowledge. James work is neither painting nor sculpture but a refreshing mixture of both forms. In his work everyday objects like Rizla packets, razor blades, sweets and music cassettes are given new life by exaggerating their scale and applying wit and graphic motifs. He has exhibited in Miami, Chicago, London and Brighton. James cites many influences including music in all its forms and of course the master of pop art - Warhol.
