"Melding folk art with the digital age, Charles Henry James is at once dystopian and utopian. His paintings are visual embodiments of the complex set of political, moral, ethical, and aesthetic contradictions we feel every time we crack a browser. As testimonies to the power of paint in a world of pixels, these paintings are urgent, at once eternally iconic and at the same time, pulsatingly now."
Kenneth Goldsmith, American artist, poet, and author
There’s a thread of discomfort running through all of the work. I try to balance visions of effusive nature with the facts of capitalist entropy.
