James McLardy

James McLardy studied Architecture from 1994 to 1996 and went on to study Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art from 1996 to 1999.

By subverting the values of both modern objects and the techniques of the artisan, McLardy’s work collages the fake and the real nature of materials. Whether sand blasting a bronze casted sculpture to downgrade its surface to a raw clay-like appearance or obsessively detailing an ellipse of MDF to look as though made from an elaborate marble, he is interested in finding ways to challenge the peacock nature of materials.
