My practice explores historical themes through a figurative lens, focusing on the abstraction of the human body. The Madonna recurs as a central figure—iconic yet fragmented—used to examine shifting identities, power structures, and the sacred. Historical references—especially religious and mythological figures—inform my process but are reimagined through fragmented forms and layered surfaces.

About the artist

John David James
Salt Spring Island, BC

John David James is a self-taught conceptual artist, raised in Strachan Creek, B.C. and residing on Salt Spring
Island. James makes conceptual artworks, paintings, photos and films. Many of his themes directly respond to his surrounding environment and the history of art, while he explores the intersection between landscape, the figure and abstraction. Elements from within a scene are often isolated and reframed to create a dialogue around place and materiality.
