James Talon

I was dragged up during the miserable, 3 day week, and blackout that was the 1970’s. My art is a document of my journey through the punk revolution, new wave hope and rave hedonism that followed. Each piece of art represents a moment on that ride, a pop song, a woman, an argument, a drunken night, a book, a friend, a fight. Each piece uses large scale, 3 dimensional sculpture and graphic symbolism to move mundane objects towards the beautiful so old Rizla packets and old cassettes become large graphic sculptures.
