James Green - Artist

My art works are in black and white and are drawn with India ink. Many describe the work as multidimensional abstracts. The large pieces are 22”x30”. The surfaces I work on are high grade, watercolour paper that affords buyers and collectors a very attractive print and/or original piece. Some of my works are framed and all will readily adapt to framing.

Since my early youth, I am 77 years old, I have been somewhat obsessed with shapes and angles in all places, from door frames, to windows to architecture to nature; wherever they exist in our daily lives.

On viewing my Optillusion works I hope people will be engaged, intrigued, and challenged to finding what they wish to see as the drawings take on a great many features we could call eye candy.  Overall, my works are set to decorate or invigorate homes, hospitals, offices, and many other spaces, and mostly I hope buyers and viewers will see a piece they find entertaining, thought provoking and fun.

My human faces piled up on top of each other or set in various angles are drawn to show characteristics of human responses to the difficult world in which we live. Some with eyes open, some closed and some none existent eyes meant to show how I view the world of complacency, and in some cases surprise and shock. These Thought pieces are my way of creating mirrors on the many responses people have to turmoil.

Overall, I draw faces and lines and shapes and angles to entertain, surprise and generate thought in those who take a look.
