James Ramsey






Artist Statement:

I create and produce according to internal debate and discovery. I attempt to understand the self through wider interactions with others. I examine my own unconsciously constructed failings, fetishes, fears, compulsions, queer experiences and performativity with a hope of finding ways to reject the assumed, and produce pockets of queer utopia in opposition to the history of these social constructions. If I’m uncomfortable I want my audience to be too. 

Currently based in South East London.

If you couldn't make it to our exhibition: Self Conscious at the Art Pavilion in Mile End Park between 02.03.22-06.03.22 we have taken photos of all the work in the show for you to have a peak. It was a wonderful venue, huge and full of natural light from the floor to ceiling windows stretching the entire front side of the building.

Self Conscious: The Workshops

Image
Dennis Beckton Fine Art Collective workshops! We are putting on two workshops during our residency at The Art Pavilion in Mile End Park. Alongside the regular opening times of 11am-6pm weekdays and the Private View 6pm-9pm on 3rd March we are running two workshops both 1pm-3pm the first on Saturday 5th March and the second on Sunday 6th March. They are free and open to everyone! Whatever level of drawing or sculpting you are at you are welcome to come and hang out for a few hours and get creative. We will be fostering a very relaxed and non-judgmental atmosphere where we will be offering some guidance and discussion if wanted and the Collective artists will be having a go ourselves! A good excuse to get out of the house, entertain the kids, or practice some skills in a spacious and comfortable environment. We look forward to seeing you all, please bring your friends and family. Let us enjoy togetherness after a two years of isolation.
