James Earley produces abstract works that bring together traditions of painting, design and stained glass art.
James Earley (b.1981), is an Irish artist who lives and works in Dublin, Ireland. Earley’s practice is rooted in graffiti, graphic design and his family’s heritage in stained glass. He creates artworks that are timeless in their aesthetic and rich in their conceptual narrative.
The pieces are produced using digital tools to create analogue artworks. Fusing computer-aided fabrication with traditional hand-made techniques, he embraces technology to create complex, layered, highly charged compositions that reimagine the architectural principles and aesthetics surrounding the cannon of stained glass art.
