Deze prachtige marmeren sculpturen van James Horan zijn sinds kort bij ons in de galerie te bewonderen. Kom gauw eens langs!

Born in 1980, James grew up in Dublin, leaving for Cork to attended Crawford College of Art and Design. In 2010 James Graduated a Masters degree in Aesthetics and the History of Art. Since 2003 James has worked mainly in stone, exhibiting regularly both in Ireland and internationally.
A notable trait in James’ sculpture is the use of Marble(and other stone) in a very loose, sketch-like manner. The medium of the renaissance sculptors flippantly used to portray a fat man in his underwear, for example. The light-hearted nature of some of these expressive figures almost masks the dark humour at play. Sometimes an underlying theme can consume his practice for months at a time and a series of work can be produced, these are often serious themes; recession, religion or war.
“My sculptures are expressive, figurative and are recognisable by their over size hands and feet. I like to think of my work as a physical representation of an emotional response. I want my sculpture to affect people, to tap in to something intangible while also being a powerful physical presence.”
James Horan.
