James Johnson-Perkins, The Great Battle, After Canaletto, Venice, Italy, Vers. 2, 2010-21 (GIGATAGE)
James says, of his work:
"The Great Battle very much relates to childhood memory and thinking of nostalgia, relating to all the things that I thought were “good” and all the things that I thought were “bad” in high or low culture. I basically trawled through a nostalgic past thinking of everything. I literally had a blank book and I wrote down all of the things in my memory that I considered as “good” or “bad” and then found that image in some kind of creative commons place. I placed all the bad elements on the left side and all the “good” elements/characters/memories on the right. These are all involved like life itself, in a giant battle."
