James Ferguson-Rose British, b. 1989

Ferguson-Rose’s paintings distill time, memory and movement into intuitive compositions. As he walks, he draws, capturing the landscape as it shifts and changes. These sketches become raw material in the studio, where observation gives way to intuition. Specific details fade as line, gesture and plane take over. Paintings move beyond depiction, aiming instead to inhabit the rhythm and atmosphere of place. In the studio, interpretation becomes more important than faithful representation. His work is shaped by memory and imagination, reflecting a process grounded in personal experience rather than a specific place.
