Realism and the irony of the human condition.
Nothing has a single meaning, and the paradox
of simplicity lies in its complexity. So it is with the
paintings of James Robertson who delights in images of
disarming directness, readily accessible in their striking
realism, yet given a twist or bite that runs a smile into
laughter, and then a lot of after thought. In the plethora
of visual images of this contemporary world, Robertson's
paintings fascinate through their extraordinary illusionism
- so real that they seem to reach beyond reality and,
through their heightened perception, create a world of
their own.
