Revelations by James Mason - Exhibition Launch & Meet The Artist
Join us for the launch of Revelations, a striking new exhibition by Hereford-based artist, photographer and professional musician James Mason.
Meet James and be among the first to explore this intimate collection of bold, abstract works. It's a wonderful opportunity to discover the stories behind the paintings, chat with the artist, and celebrate the opening of the exhibition in the unique surroundings of The Globe. Make a day of it by enjoying a meal from our restaurant, and relaxing with a drink in our beautiful garden while soaking up Hay-on-Wye's creative atmosphere.
James studied art in Hereford, drawing early inspiration from the landscapes and natural beauty of the Wye Valley, where he specialised in intricate ink drawings. Following a successful career as a commercial photographer, he has returned to his lifelong passion for painting, developing a distinctive abstract style full of colour, movement and expression. His work has been exhibited in a number of acclaimed solo exhibitions, including The Courtyard in Hereford, Freud on Shaftesbury Avenue in London, and alongside works by Damien Hirst. Revelations brings together a carefully curated collection of original paintings, each one a unique statement piece bursting with colour and character. Whether you're an art enthusiast, collector, or simply curious, we'd love you to join us for the launch and experience this vibrant new exhibition.
The exhibition will remain on display at The Globe following the launch, with all artworks available to purchase.
