James Flaxman

James Flaxman was born in Sydney, Australia in 1978. From an early age he showed a strong interest in all things surreal and macabre. Much of his work is a direct reaction to the resurgence of politicised religion, a force that has killed millions worldwide and continues to claim lives today. He uses the same distinctive style when portraying live models, dystopian worlds and beings from occultist lore.
