JAMES GORDON | MIXED BUSINESS

Born in Scotland and now working from his home in the Blue Mountains, James Gordon has been at the forefront of Australian creativity for more than 30 years. The artist’s background in graphic, retail and event design has seen him work with most (if not all) of the country’s best celebrated tastemakers. Today Gordon’s focus is on his meticulous art practice, which is supported by his exquisite eye for detail, and flair for transforming the ordinary into something delightful. With his favoured materials of watercolour and paper, he conjures two and, at times, three-dimensional scenes and objects with masterful precision. These creations are rarely safe from Gordon’s incisive wit, which invests in his output a playfully tongue-in-cheek sentiment.
