Before I start a painting I try to work out how I can pack as much emotion into the artwork as possible. I paint in a hyperrealism style as I feel that this is the best vehicle of getting pure emotion into my work. Every painting takes me such a long time to do because I feel that I have a duty to put so much detail and emotion into it and every skin pore and hair tells a story.
The emotion of joy, happiness and relief dominate this work. I met Mim on a very small island called Polar Char in Bangladesh in 2022. As an Artist I travel to some very difficult places and see a huge amount of suffering but this was different. The organisation that I was with had worked with the community to build a raised village on this tiny island and so now when the floods come the people do not have to evacuate and find a home elsewhere. This relief and joy was evident in abundance when I met Mim. Mim was happy that she now had a permanent school and a permanent home. She danced and played without any care in the world.
When I was back in the UK and I looked at a blank canvas I asked myself how I would paint this joy. I decided that I would extend the joyful pattern of her dress on to the background, as she spread joy and happiness to everyone she met, she had a rainbow of happiness and colour surrounding her. I hope that when people view this portrait they can see pure and undiluted joy.

James Earley’s journey as an artist is a story of relentless passion, fearless exploration, and unwavering dedication. His talent burst into the spotlight in 2013 when he was honoured to be a part of The Art Investors’ acclaimed “Seven Artists Exhibition” at London’s Strand Gallery – a shining moment that showcased him among the brightest young artists worldwide.
James Earley’s true depth emerged in 2015 when he delved into emotionally charged studies of homelessness, victims of war and religious martyrs. These works are born from a profound empathy and unwavering commitment to telling stories that matter. This work elevated him to new heights of recognition, earning nominations from Institutions like the BP Award, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and The Royal Institute of Portrait Painters.His artwork found a home in the renowned Mall Gallery in London, anchoring his reputation as a compelling storyteller and disrupter through art.
In 2019, James Earley’s artistry was celebrated on even grander stages when he was chosen to showcase at the prestigious London Biennale. The international praise that he received has been remarkable – highlighted by favourable reviews from the German Kunst Haute Magazine and The International Contemporary Art Curators, calling him one of the most significant artists of our time.
Despite being self taught, James has emerged as a leading pioneering figurative and hyperrealism painter in Britain – a feat driven by raw talent, passion and a deep-seated love for storytelling through art. His journey is a testament to the transformative power of authenticity and relentless pursuit of excellence.
His accolades include the first prize at The London Biennale, The Giottto International Prize, and the Leonardo da Vinci International prize in 2019. In 2020, he was honoured with the Venice International Art Prize, and in 2022, he was handpicked by the European Cultural Centre to exhibit at The Venice Biennale. That same year, his work graced the halls at the Louvre in Paris and the historic Bonhams Auction House in London. More recently, in 2024, James received the prestigious Contemporary American Art Collectors Award, cementing his place among the most influential contemporary artists today.
James Earley’s art is more than a visual experience – it is a heartfelt conversation with the world, capturing the struggles, triumphs, and stories that define us all.
