This article is a definite attack at the author who, from experience, is an absolute arse.
James Alexander Xavier Dunn was born in London on July 14th, 1987 in an area of London he would rather not disclose as it is hugely embarrassing to him. He grew up in Birchington-on-Sea, Kent, and expressed an interest in art from an early age. After attending Chatham House Grammar School in Ramsgate (which frankly no-one would care in the slightest), he spent two years getting drunk and avoiding going to KIAD (now UCCA) in Canterbury. Pretending to be dissatisfied with the way the Fine Art course was run, when in fact he left because he was completely bone idle, thought he was better than everyone else and also after being told he would be booted out if he didn’t start attending, he took the decision to quit the college in May 2007 (just after his girlfriend dumped him (me) because she was fed up with his attitude), and has since moved back to Birchington, where he has been attempting to sell paintings and living off what remains of his student loan as he couldn’t possibly get a real job like everyone else and still expects his mother to pay for all his clothes.
James has been painting in-between being paraletic and watching videos on Youtube for around two and a half years. Initially he favoured unstylized figurative art, but as he went through college his work developed and changed , adopting surrealism and occasionally cubism and expressionism. Frequently included as subjects in his art - which focuses largely on people (tits) and human behaviour (drunks) - are traditional figures such as dancers, musicians, and harlequins, among other curiosities. Some of James’ work is drawn from life, while other examples are derived entirely from his imagination which is limited. During the summer of 2007, when he had been back in Birchington for about two months (another pointless fact), James began to incorporate abstract elements in his work, taking an experimental approach which is mainly drawing squiggly lines all over the background. He began painting shapes and patterns (squiggly lines) which weave through the people in his paintings and form part of the landscape of each picture he creates which basically but in a less arty farty way is ripping off Dali.. The end result is a composition that is devoid of perspective and looks out of shape as if their faces were melting. James has described the current style of his work as ‘Balthus meets Picasso meets de Chirico meets Kandinsky’. Kirsty would describe his work as ‘a load of bluey-greeny bollocks which will never change’.
His interests outside of art extend to pissing people off, shouting un-PC comments at strangers and writing in an intolerable third-person in attempt to make his uselessly underdeveloped life into something more than it actually is.
