'Departures' at the Red Stables.
James's first solo exhibition for 3 years takes place from May 5th - 11th, 2008, at the Red Stables, St. Anne's Park, Dublin. As the title suggests, some of the pieces being exhibited represent a new departure for James as he explores new ways of working. These pieces will be exhibited in conjunction with new PCB paintings and will mark the progression of his work.
