Short Bio:

Inspired by the seminal urban art book Subway Art, James Jessop started his career as a pre-teen graffiti artist, before going on to gain an MA from the Royal College of Art and exhibit as part of Charles Saatchi’s famous 2004 show, New Blood. Bringing the letter forms and backgrounds of the 1980s New York subway to expertly painted canvas, Jessop adds portrayals of old film posters and dirty novels from the 1960s, creating something that is entirely unique.
