James Cousins

James Cousins is known for his complex paintings which are formed from combined stencils, found imagery and processes extending from a paint, canvas, materiality nexus. Assembled contradictions and reversals converge in an affecting space that segues from the recognisable to the intangible. The culmination of layer and process creates systems blurring abstraction and figuration. Interwined and coexistent tensions arise between the original form and the surface, creating and defining a context of suspended meaning.
