A painting depicting a vase of abstractedly painted flowers with expressive brushstrokes in various colors.
James Kearns, based in New South Wales, delves into expressive abstraction and gestural figuration. His work, marked by emotional grit and instinctive mark-making, is deeply informed by his experiences in remote bushland and rural communities. His paintings explore themes of masculinity, fragility, and repair, with pieces held in public and private collections across Australia.
