James Lomax (b. 1991, UK) graduated from the Royal Academy Schools in 2022. He has undertaken residencies at Ikon Gallery, The New Art Gallery Walsall, The Henry Moore Institute and Studio Block M74 Mexico City. Lomax is drawn to objects that serve as barriers or containers, using them to explore the physical and material qualities of a place. By highlighting both permanent and fleeting elements within a landscape, he works with found objects, reframing and transforming them by altering their context, material, and form. His practice, often characterized by repetitive series, integrates with his interest in exhibition-making. Selected exhibitions include: Chester Contemporary, curated by Ryan Gander (2023); Unbound Material, Sid Motion Gallery, London, UK (2023), Unprecedented Times, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Birmingham, UK (2022), Absurd, OHSH Projects, London, UK (2022), Modern Relics, Fold Gallery,
