About this artwork
My oil paintings have to have a story behind them, they have to drown with emotion and scream and shout.
Once I saw Pat I knew that I had to paint a hyperrealism portrait of him.
I met Pat on the streets of Southampton in 2021. Pat had been homeless for many years and was quite a well known character on the streets of Southampton. He was a kind and gentle man who was happy to talk about any issue. We spoke of childhood and his dreams and ambitions.… I saw a spark in his eye when he spoke of his childhood which seemed to fade when reality hit him.
Once I was in my studio I wanted to create a painting that glimpsed into Pat’s childhood. A painting that screams “I was a little boy once, I had dreams and ambitions, but my dreams were stolen” Society stole his dreams, the class system stole his dreams, endless poverty stole his dreams.
I am hoping that you see a painting that feels hopeful, that shows Pat’s resilience. Pat will keep going.

British artist James Earley defies conventional art world expectations with his provocative and uncompromising work. As a leading figure in Hyperrealism, he does not shy away from confronting uncomfortable truths – raising awareness of pressing issues like homelessness, mental health and war. His art is raw, a bestial scream against societal apathy, demanding attention and challenging viewers to see what the world often chooses to ignore. Through brutally honest representations, James seeks not just to depict reality but to expose it, fighting fiercely against the superficial and glamorous narratives that dominate contemporary art.
James is a self taught hyperrealism artist who paints people who live on the very edge of society. James has exhibited his work in London, New York, Madrid and Amsterdam and he has been described by both The Contemporary Art Magazine and the Kunst Heute Magazine as one of the most relevant artists in the world today.
