Look out

A series of paintings from 2016 to 2024
by James Dodds

Introduction by AL Kennedy

For some, James Dodds’ Look Out paintings might represent something of a departure. After all, his beautiful linocuts of little ports have a discernible tranquillity, and his paintings of boats are filled with an almost entrancing, numinous and meditative quality. This seems very far from the life of a refugee trying to survive in one of the ‘small boats’ so maligned by successive UK governments, or from the early, anxious days of the Covid pandemic, from war and devastation – from the dark subjects and the implicit dismay in the use of paint and colour in the Look Out works…
