In July 2008, James completed a major commission for The Sweeney Agency in Toronto, Canada. The large format painting in oils on canvas invokes Celtic motifs, reflecting the historical and current business connections between The Sweeney Agency and Ireland.
Exhibition: 'Departures' at the Red Stables.
James's first solo exhibition for 3 years took place during May, 2008, at the Red Stables, St. Anne's Park, Dublin. As the title suggests, some of the pieces being exhibited represented a new departure for James as he explores new ways of working. These pieces were exhibited in conjunction with new PCB paintings and were intended to mark the progression of his work.
The new pieces incorporate traditional techniques and media, including oils, acrylics, pen & ink, digital images and pencil, on canvas, paper and newsprint, but combined and layered in exciting and innovative ways.
