Contemporary artist James Bates finds inspiration in the most unlikely of places from junk shops to Disney films, scrap heaps to sketch books, Bates’ wide artistic scope is reflected in his multi media art pieces, which range from illustration to animation, advertising to graphic design. Bates’ aesthetic is singular his prints are bold and fearless, mindful of composition and colour in a striking way. ‘Cosmic Trigger’ is reminiscent of Warhol’s iconic ‘Double Elvis’, with its colourful replication of a revolver, multilayered for a sense of dynamic movement. It’s a piece that centres around strong composition and striking colour palette to powerful effect this is contemporary print making at its best.
