Bio: James Skevington (b. 1989, London, UK) is based in Amsterdam and is a self-taught artist with a background in graphic design. This informs how he sees and interprets the world. His colourful and geometric images often blur the lines between play and order, combining familiar symbols from our everyday lives into abstract compositions. He graduated with a BA (Hons) in Visual Communication from Nottingham Trent University in 2010. In 2022 he had his first solo exhibition, If You Can't See My Mirrors I Can't See You, at Hello Love Gallery, London. He has exhibited in group exhibitions throughout the UK and recently travelled to Mongolia for a 2 week nomadic artist residency.
