Oil and soft pastel on canvas, unframed
46 × 36cm, 2025
James Watkins is a multidisciplinary artist primarily working in expressionistic, mixed media paintings. Enamoured with both the potential of colour and the materiality of mark making, Watkins explores an abstracted, organic vocabulary as a means of delivering highly pigmented work– whilst exploring themes of consciousness, painting as a means of spiritual elevation and interconnectivity within the natural world. Having lived in both Melbourne and Sydney, London, Paris, Istanbul and Mexico City over the last 15 years, he has recently returned home to Auckland, New Zealand, where he continues to pursue his painting practice.
