About the Item
Glynne James was born and raised in Hertfordshire where he started painting and exhibiting his work. He now lives and works in Lincolnshire and this fascinating landscape has become his focus.
The temporal approach is the essence of Glynne’s work and results in highly stylised canvases, each painting approaches the landscape in terms of its changes, not as individual paintings but upon the same canvas, strips of fenland character displayed as a coherent whole. On occasions the adjacent strips are subtly differentiated, as if moving from one minute’s observation to the next, on others, the changes are sudden and startling; a field of wheat becomes a sea of plastic, a distant shape becomes a blazingly lit power station. Landscape which may appear featureless to the casual observer is presented with its components highlighted.

Glynne James
Glynne James was born and raised in Hertfordshire — one of the “home counties” that borders greater London. He began painting and exhibiting locally before eventually moving to Boston, England, where he found himself deeply inspired by the flat stretches of marshy land that allow for grand views of the horizon, sun rises, sunsets and great swathes of ever-changing sky. Commonly found in the east of England, this landscape is known as the Fenlands, and is iconic of James’s work.
In its use of oil on canvas, James's work is a sympathetic fusion of traditional methods with a contemporary twist. The unique stylization of his creations makes a compelling nod to the idea that each piece has been composed over time. Through a series of tessellating squares, the different hues of days, and perhaps even seasons, can clearly be seen. Not only does this lend itself to the undulating rhythms of the natural world, it allows the viewer to appreciate the richness and complexity of color, light and tone.
