BIO
James Lai
Sydney-based landscape painter, James Lai creates contemporary semi abstract landscape works using his distinctive inventive and primitive style.
"Inspired by the multi-faceted Australian landscape, from its majestic mountain ranges and valleys to the rugged rural country, I find a constant urge to portray nature in its raw beauty and with its sense of freedom with paint. Painting in a semi abstract style allows me to express my interpretation of the unique elements and nuances that can be found in every landscape scene. My works are created with a strong focus on vision, the process of abstraction, colour palette and striking a fine balance between technical and emotion."
