James Hogan - Artist

james hogan was born on november 29, 1993 in epsom, england - he is a freelance artist and student at eton college currently working in london, primarily producing illustrative works using pen and ink. his attraction to the medium lies in its permanency which, leads to a sense of immediacy, creating a bold and exciting feeling. like etchings, indian ink drawings allow for minute detail. the medium’s fluidity allows for the creation of smooth lines, which allow the viewer’s eye to follow the movement of the piece. james draws inspiration from leonardo di vinci and other renaissance artists. having recently visited windsor castle for a prize winning presentation, he was particularly inspired by the portraits and medical drawings in the royal collection. the precision di vinci executed in his anatomical studies not only demonstrates his mastery but also the accuracy of pen and ink as a medium.
