Philosophical Charlie by Paul James ‘Philosophical Charlie’ has more than a nod to several famous philosophers including ‘Socrates’ ‘Plato’, ‘Aristotle’ and ‘Confucius’. The piece is also littered with related quotes and symbolism and philosophical references.This is a vibrant, intriguing painting with plenty for the viewer to explore and reflect upon with the now iconic ‘Charlie duck’, as the focal point. Let’s delve a little deeper and take a look at the various elements that Paul has envisioned that come together to create this wonderful masterpiece. On the graffitied back wall we have the large white letters ‘QI’ representing chi -energy, alongside the pink lettering of ‘Plato Boys’. Layered over these, there is green wording in Spanish, which translates to the famous Socrates quote ‘I only know that I know nothing’ by the Soco crew. The light bulb has the number 42 on it which if you are familiar with ‘Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy’ was their answer to the meaning of life. . . #pauljames #duck #instaduck #makkard #graffitti #westovergallery #ducksofinstagram #sunday (at Bournemouth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CokkqmyI2Uf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

* PUSSY * From £785 on paper framed also available on canvas by artist Paul James There is irony in the title of Paul’s latest spectacular creation. Edgy, impactful and bang up to date with elements of the latest detritus cast down upon our streets and pertinent slogans graffitied on the walls. The nonchalant air of this stunningly terrific tiger, sprawled across the kerbside belies the fierce, ferocious nature of this fabulous feline. This powerful and thought-provoking image challenges humankind to the impact of our encroachment into the natural habitats of these precious and increasingly rare wild creatures. In his inimitable style, Paul has captured the true magnificence of the velveteen quality of the fur and the striking markings of this Tigers coat – set against a backdrop of riotous colour of warm pinks and hot purple hues. Whilst this masterpiece may deliver a serious message Paul’s sense of wry humour is evident throughout the detailing of this imposing painting. . . . #wildlife #urban #urbanart #streetart #urban #pauljames #tiger #instatiger #instatiger #artoftheday #friday #fridayart #graffiti #graffitiart (at Bournemouth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFVKdpI4FV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just hanging around the gallery for the weekend! Paul James has combined the urban life encroaching on the natural world with the beautiful orangutan, a species sadly in decline. Drag Queen is her title available at Westover Gallery. . #orangutans #instamonkey #orangutansofinstagram #pauljames #urbanlife #savetheplanet #animalconservation #monkeysmatter #apes #bournemouth #westovergallery https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Ib6eendvj/?igshid=2ji11z5qyvfg
