James Corbett: Timeless Art “I’d like to think that years into the future, my sculptures will be seen as not only desirable art work, but also as an intriguing time capsule from the age of the motor car.”

n the late 1960’s, Australian, James Corbett was a small boy. His young class mates would always say that he would be an artist when he grew up. “I could and always did draw”. By the time he was in high school that was forgotten, “back then in our part of the world, art wasn’t even offered as a subject… a career in art . . . well that was just ridiculous. I was a bit keen to be an architect but really didn’t get any support or encouragement to do that. I was encouraged to join the public (civil) service, and that’s what I did.

His subjects vary from life size people and animals to his trade mark Speed Demons, “I think my favourite subjects are dogs and the monster pre WW1 race cars. The dogs because of their sheer variety, and I love the way that they speak with their eyes and ears. If I can get that right, they can be so alive. Those cars because of the lunacy, passion and naivety. Speed and glory was the goal. Stopping, turning, or survival was incidental�.
