Darren James’ current work focuses on liminal or threshold states. This series of images evokes a dreamlike mood, as if its subjects were imagined or partially-remembered. The collection includes both figures and landscapes. James’ dark imagery, using low exposures and unorthodox locations, gives his works an ethereal or intangible quality. The work invites the viewer to engage with it as if the images were from the viewer’s own dreams or memories.
Darren James is a Melbourne-based photographic artist and photojournalist. He was born in Fiji and trained in Australia and London. He has lived and worked in Australia, the US, UK and Ireland, in addition to travelling extensively.
Darren James has exhibited in numerous galleries around Australia, and overseas. In 2007 his work was exhibited and sold at the Art Melbourne and Art Sydney international art fairs, and the Daylesford Foto Biennale in Victoria. The artist’s work is held in both public and private collections in Australia.
