The Creative Adventures of James Brown: Part 10
In Part 10 of The Creative Adventures of James Brown, James reflects on his 2009 Wallace Art Awards experience. He heads back to the studio, goes back to the drawing board and paints. He then plucks up the courage to approach Auckland's Sanderson Gallery about exhibiting his latest body of work.

Auckland video editor James Brown works for The Learning Connexion School of Art and Creativity by day, and is a painter by night. A voracious blogger James decided to bring his two great loves together and create a video blog. His video blog follows his adventure as an emerging New Zealand artist from creative conception to through to exhibition.
James’ work is a complex melange of post-modern pop culture, which builds on traditions of collage. Essentially they are studies of James’ experience, reconstituted through a vision of a mythical future. His work culminates in a giant painting of goat boy, a futuristic historian who populates James’ works. This work was entered in the 2009 Wallace Art Awards.
