James Graham

Title: James Graham
Location: House of Propellers

Description: Private view of solo show of illustrator James Graham’s new work. Show is on for a month.

Bucket and Spade is James Graham’s first solo show. The prints produced especially for this exhibition are inspired by the logic and elementary graphic language of shields, crests, tokens, puzzles and early learning aids. James has created a range of new symbols that appear familiar, but whose meaning and function remain unclear and open to interpretation. Juxtaposition, repetition and seriality additionally suggest some kind of system or narrative without ever fully disclosing the logic behind it or wanting to close off the chain of associations it sets out to trigger. It is up to the viewer to interpret them and to accept the ambiguity and playfulness inherent to any language game.
