ABOUT THE ARTIST

Andie James is an Australian interdisciplinary artist based in London. Her work spans painting, photography, and digital art, exploring the physical and emotional residues we leave behind as we share space with strangers. Incorporating these elements, she creates compositions that reflect the collective aesthetic and cultural values around her.

James is interested in our need to express and locate ourselves within a wider social fabric. She sees anonymous exchanges and inanimate objects as shared expressions rather than isolated statements about our individual lives. James translates these observations into an artistic practice spanning painting, collective website experiences, zines, and photography. At times, James invites others to co-author experiences; at others, she uses a painterly language to elevate mundane scenes into contemplative compositions. These gestures and objects act as pillars of social endurance. Through this hybrid approach, James builds artistic surfaces that operate as archives of existence.

James graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and also studied for a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Australian National University. In 2024, she was a finalist in the National Emerging Art Prize. James is participating in the Turps Studio Programme in London in 2026.
