“1997” is a solo exhibition of Wesley James’ street-punk collection brimming with hyper detail, neon colors, and a sense of reckless fun that sparks the imagination and stays true to itself in every way.
Each piece is raw, honest, and intuitive — a direct line from mind to material — with every little detail daring you to look closer and linger longer.
Artist Bio:
Wesley James (he/him) is a Portland-based artist and illustrator working across media and creative industries. Hailing from small town Alaska, with aesthetic roots in 70s nostalgia and outsider traditions, James’ bold, vibrant compositions speak to the subconscious, feeding curiosity in maker and viewer alike. Wildly energetic in both appearance and attitude, the decisive quality of his work is automatic; unwaveringly honest in content and form. From acrylic on canvas to crayon on cardboard, a commitment to intuition, experimentation, and just plain fun takes the lead in the studio of Wesley James.
