Los Angeles based sculptor, painter, and performance artist, Anthony James is famous for setting fire to a Ferrari in a birch forest and entombing the ravaged car and trees in an installation called Kø (2008) See below. His practice incorporates a variety of industrial objects, steel vitrines, aluminum sculptures, detritus, and wall-mounted installations, his use of vitrines drawing comparisons to Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons. James is fixated with speed, mechanization, and the search for new practices to reflect themes of death, destruction, and rebirth. His latest beautiful installation series are infinity geometric solids filled with lights and mirrors called Euhedral.
