James Ward
Visual Artist specialising in Drawing
The main focus of James Ward’s work is Natural History and his drawings have a heavy narrative element. The artist creates these narratives using both scale and anthropomorphising the animal subjects – giving them human motivations and behaviour set in unusual contexts or juxtapositions. The medium he invariably uses is pen and ink and as the artist states, “I am obsessed with Rotring pens (architect’s pens) as they allow me to produce finely detailed drawings”.
