James Hallinan is an artist based in Liverpool who primarily works on canvas using oils, acrylics, and pastels. James’ work has been featured in galleries in Ireland, the UK, and Mexico. James holds a BA in Visual Communication and a PGcert in Fine Art from the University for the Creative Arts London.
James's current work deals with themes surrounding heightened periods of emotions experienced during social engagement and the effects it has both on the mind and body. Using the body as a focal point in his work, James creates a visual language that externalises these internal experiences.
Recently, James has used colour and composition discovered and documented while wondering around the local area and developing further in the studio. This can be seen in his current series of works, such as the "No Parking" paintings and prints.
