James exhibits in galleries throughout the UK, Europe anda USA. His work is favoured amongst private collectors and hangs on the walls of many high profile international boardrooms. Description of his work He drew his early inspiration from unconventional scenes, the local scrap yard on a rainy day was a particular favourite. He moved on from this to making studies in cityscapes and with his success came the opportunity to travel. New York and many European cities have become the focus of James Blinkhorn's work. His images are created using a wide variety of media and art materials. Early works feature outdoor scenes, graduating to cityscapes where his stylish compositions caputre the sights and sounds of the city. His distinctive style is achieved by using a unique palette of pastels with more than 50 shades of grey, designed specifically to caputre every nuance of each scene, without using more conventional colours.
