James Robertson

A World Of Striking Realism.        Nothing has a single meaning, and the paradox of simplicity lies in its complexity.

So it is with the paintings of James Robertson, who delights in images of disarming directness, readily accessible in their striking realism, yet given a twist or bite that turns a smile into laughter, and then a lot of after thought.

In the plethora of visual images of this contemporary world, Robertson's paintings fascinate through their extraordinary illusionism - so real that they seem to reach beyond reality and, through their hightened perception, create a world of their own.
