James Sewell
I am a British artist living in Essex, England. My practice explores the value of the handmade and craft skills, through pattern-based paintings structured around the grid. Painting a pattern by hand creates subtle variations between each repetition. A “perfect” result that exactly replicates the initial design is impossible, because the hand approximates the ideal. It is the small flaws that make the work unique and personal; different to a painting created by someone else following an identical design. Do the imperfections that arise by transferring a design to canvas make the outcome “wrong”, or are they where the appeal lies?

I've finally started painting my "Wandering (Winter)" design, starting with some frosty blues. ❄️

We're now at that time of year where we might consider thinking about Christmas... so here's a gentle reminder that I have a range of shiny patterned cards. ⭐️
Available on Etsy and Art in the Heart.
