ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



James E Crowther has earned his reputation for painting his idiosyncratic signature ‘cut out’ portraits, rendered in oil on panel. It is through his attention to detail and his skill at ‘capturing’ his subject that the sensitivity of their inner psyche is revealed.

Crowther is a British figurative painter living and working in rural Oxfordshire with his two daughters, three dogs and partner. He was born in Southampton in 1974 and grew up on the River Hamble Hampshire where his father ran a boatyard. He secured a place at Brighton art college in 1993 where the world opened up for him. He graduated under principle tutors of Andrzej Jackowski and Brendan Neiland and continued to live in Brighton for the next ten years embracing the rich club scene. In 2004 he had his first painting accepted for BP Portrait Prize. The highly acclaimed writer Blake Morrisson said on seeing James’ painting at the National Portrait Gallery, “A good portrait painting does not merely capture a likeness, but connects with the inner energy of the sitter, showing the ‘flickers of feeling, shadows of thought, or what Leonardo da Vinci called The motions of the Mind”. Crowther has been shortlisted for the Sequested Art Prize 2021/22 at Unit Gallery and has had several solo shows in London and exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the BP Portrait Prize, Figurative Art Now at the Mall Galleries, Lynn Painter Stainers Prize, The Discerning eye, The Threadneedle Art Prize and art fairs in London, New York, Miami, Paris, Switzerland and Greece. Works are in numerous private collections internationally.
