Supportive friends by James Wilson in Toronto
Supportive friends
Skateboarding is a recurring theme in my work, and I use it as a metaphor for the sense of freedom and possibility that comes with youth.
By including the onlooking friend in the piece the painting references a healthy balance between risk and having a support network to help if you need it and celebrate wins.

Meet the Artist
Toronto, CanadaJames is a young Australian artist whose work crosses through the worlds of animation, illustration and painting.
Journeying through the nostalgia of obsolete technology, youth culture and the pitfalls of young love, Wilson’s rose-tinted references look back at the universal growing pains of adolescence and unripe adulthood.
Wilson currently works out of Melbourne where he creates visual reactions to his environment.
Exploring life through loose and often nonlinear narratives, his acute observations peer through a wryly introspective lens, deconstructing cultural stereotypes and poking fun at fragile male egos and sassy female stereotypes.
Encompassing everything from dating apps and youth culture, Wilson presents abstracted miniature storylines in his captivating vignettes. Scornful female characters spit acidic ripostes at skater bois from behind sultry eyelashes, everyday items like crushed beer cans, spray paint nozzles and lighters are deconstructed to form loosely-arced narratives in voyeuristic vignettes.
