The illustrations of Manchester-based artist James Roper draw on many diverse sources, from Baroque Art to the flow of energy found in complex structure, for example human beings. Rendered in delicate black and white pencil and splashed with the odd brush of colour to maximise effect, they are fascinating pieces of contemporary art. The subject matter is a diversified mix of fashion models, saints and abstract shapes.
