About James Sherwood

James Sherwood is a Welsh artist based in Cardiff, known for his large-scale abstract and landscape canvases.

Represented by Blackwater Gallery, James uses abstract work to explore and raise awareness of mental health. His pieces are rich in colour, emotion and connection — a reflection of his own understanding of the importance of mental wellbeing.

His landscape work showcases a distinct versatility, reimagining iconic Welsh landmarks with a dynamic sense of motion and narrative. A signature element of James’ style is his use of splatter paint, applied deliberately to suggest light, people, or reflections.

Through his work, James celebrates the country that has shaped his creativity — honouring the landscapes, stories, and support that have allowed him to express himself and connect with others through art.
