Elizabeth petrova portrait
I've been following the evolution of James' work for almost 8 years. With each new iteration, his work pushes forward, referencing commercial advertising and the vintage aesthetic of family photo albums. It communicates an unexpected timelessness, questioning the boundaries of perception and escapism.”
