About James Earley

 
 
  • Biography
    I am a self taught hyperrealism artist and I paint people who live on the very edge of society. I have exhibited my work in London, New York, Madrid and Amsterdam and I have been described by both The Contemporary Art Magazine and the Kunst Heute Magazine as one of the most relevant artists in the world today. I was honoured to be awarded The First Prize at the prestigious London Biennale in 2019. In 2022 I was privileged to show my work at The Louvre in Paris and I had my first auction at Bonhams London. In 2023 I won the prestigious Velazquez International Art Award for painting and in 2024 I was honoured to win The American Contemporary Art Award.
    I hope that my art will help place a focus on issues that are destroying humanity today such as war, conflict and poverty.
