bio
James Roper
James Roper explores the physicality of the human body whilst also drawing comparisons with baroque sculpture and iconography. He creates a sort of “optical hyperactivity” through his seductive paintings, their content, style and surface seemlessly intermix into intense imagery.
Born in 1982 in Knutsford, England,. Lives and works in Manchester.
