James Roper. Aus Manchester. Malt, zeichnet, illustriert, schreibt, filmt. “My predominant work to date has been the ‘Hypermass’ series which references the baroque sculpture of Catholic iconography and how it uses techniques of exaggeration of the folds in robes and cloud formations to express ‘spiritual energy’. This style ironically manifests as a lustful, extremely physical, materialistic aesthetic which is also apparent in Japanese animation (anime) where the images I use to construct each composition are appropriated.” (1)
