“Radiant Memories” (2020) James Little’s vibrant laminated glass artwork at LIRR Jamaica station, incorporates layers of colorful, intricate lines that together form flat, gradated blocks of color, creating a sense of movement and animation as the light shifts throughout the day. MTA Arts’ largest MTA LIRR installation to date brings a fresh aesthetic to the station and provides an immediate wayfinding signal to Brooklyn-bound commuters as they navigate their transfers.
James Little’s solo exhibition “Black Stars & White Paintings” is currently on view at Kavi Gupta in Chicago. In a recent studio visit, the artist told @artnet ’s Sarah Cascone: “In order to achieve simplicity, you have to understand a lot of complexities. My Black and White paintings both play with this idea – geometry and color each serve a very distinct purpose and, when integrated just right, you know it’s working.” Read the full article “See Inside James Little’s Studio, Where He Combines Pigment, Beeswax, and Varnish to Create Layered Geometric Abstractions” on Artnet News.
