James MacSporran is an emerging artist working primarily in painting and drawing on paper and canvas.
Inspired by trains and cityscapes, stylistically his art practice embodies a blend of abstraction and graffiti, resulting in fluoro-coloured and densely layered artworks that he creates from his imagination. Often synthesising text with abstraction, his work conjures references to mazes, street art and old-style arcade games.
MacSporran has worked at Arts Project Australia’s studio since 2016. He has presented two solo exhibitions in 2020 and 2021 and completed his second public art commission in Melbourne in 2020. He has been presented in group exhibitions in Australia and has also shown in New York and Hong Kong.
