Glynne James Paintings

British

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.

Artist: Glynne James
Maris Piper Delight  - contemporary vertical landscape purple oil painting
By Glynne James
Located in London, GB
framed in a white wooden tray frame - 86 x 36cm Working with oil paint on canvases of all different shapes and sizes, this temporal approach to the landscape is the essence of Glynne’s work. Comprised of multiple squares and rectangles, each ‘window’ offers a snapshot of one scene viewed throughout time. In this regards, Glynne’s work might document the arrival of flowers in Spring, the light of a mid-summer sky, and the haze of an autumnal sunrise, all in one cohesive painting. Whether muted and subtle, or brazen and bold, Glynne’s use of colour always creates a rich, familiar atmosphere that perfectly captures the ever changing essence of the Great British Countryside. In this regard, it is fitting that Glynne’s work does not shy away from the man-made. Power stations, wind turbines...
