James Jarvis Unveils Expressive Graffiti Collages

Signaling a new approach by the celebrated British artist.

James Jarvis is best known for his expressive, black-and-white calligraphy and illustrations of whimsical cartoon characters including his signature Sphere subject. The celebrated British artist has recently shared a series of graffiti collages on his Instagram account, signaling a new approach that merges his figuration with potent abstract elements.

Jarvis used torn-up paper of different mediums featuring his graffiti tags and comical figures to create each collage.

The artist also recently shared a stop-motion video that offers viewers a closer look at his process, below.
