About the artist

Collection: James Talon

James Talon is a Brighton-based mixed-media artist known for his exaggerated 3D sculptures of everyday items. Influenced heavily by pop art and the 1970s cultural movements, he turns mundane objects like Rizla packets, music cassettes, and sweet wrappers into bold, witty, graphic wall art.

"I was dragged up during the miserable, 3 day week, blackout that was the 1970’s. My art is a document of my journey through the punk revolution, new wave hope and rave hedonism that followed. Each piece of art represents a moment on that ride, a pop song, a woman, an argument, a drunken night, a book, a friend, a fight. Each piece uses large scale, 3 dimensional sculpture and graphic symbolism to move mundane objects towards the beautiful so old Rizla packets and old cassettes become large graphic sculptures."
