About

James Watkins is one of New Zealand's most successful contemporary artists. Since leaving Elam School of Art in 2005 his works have been acquired and commissioned by clients and collectors worldwide.

Both large and small-scale works, including his unique ceramic sphere, feature the trademark Watkins' Red Roof/Blue Roof Series of contemporary landscape. These works are set against a palette of widely varying backdrops, from blue skies to swirling atmospherics. Of this series, James says: I am particularly interested in the simple architectural structures of older buildings along with the universal symbol of home. Early and ongoing inspiration comes from the works of Edward Hopper and Colin McCahon. Frances Davies - Director ( International Art Centre)
