"Avis de grand large"
James CHEDBURN - Navy cut, 2026 - Mixed media - 29 x 14 x 8 cm © Jean-François Deroubaix
James Chedburn’s boats cut through the waves of imagination, heading toward a wonderful world where the calm of the ocean calls for the tranquillity of the mind. To weather the storms, they skim over the waves with their propellers or quickly return to port.
Is it the hazy memory of that long sea voyage which, in his early childhood, took him from Malaysia to England that inspires him?
Despite the seasickness that continues to follow him, James is inspired by the
maritime world. Through his sculptures, he brings back to life the time of the great ocean liners that carried around the Earth passengers eager for new horizons and exotic delicacies.
Small coastal vessels and ships: he sculpts and christens them according to his
inspiration and the found objects that give them a soul. Cranks, spring keys and the fairy of electricity make them sway on invisible waves and brass seas.
Bon voyage at Galerie Lélia Mordoch!
