{"id":159,"count":4,"description":"James Horan\r\n \r\nBorn in 1980, James grew up in Dublin, leaving for Cork to attend 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.\r\n     A notable trait in James\u2019 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.\r\n\u201cMy 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.\u201d\r\n \r\nJames Horan.","link":"https:\/\/artdistrict.nl\/en\/kunstenaars\/james-horan\/","name":"James Horan","slug":"james-horan","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":19,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artdistrict.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artdistrict.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artdistrict.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/artdistrict.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
