A British-born Chinese multidisciplinary artist and tattooist. His work explores themes of fleeting moments, love, and movement. His recent work focuses on the evolving nature of love in the technological age, examining how connection, intimacy, and human experience are reshaped in an increasingly digital world. He has been commissioned by brands such as Adidas and Melia Hotel Group and regularly speaks on art, love, technology and business, including a TEDx talk.

At the core of James’s practice is a deep commitment to using art as a vehicle to empower others. He considers this the privilege of his lifetime. Central to his methodology is a humanistic approach: he takes the time to deeply understand his subjects and collaborators whether he is painting on canvas, fabrics or human skin. These meaningful connections inform and shape each piece. 

This way of working culminates in his private commissions where he invites his clients into his studio to be painted. James is currently open to commissions; please see information and contact details below.
