Pussy by Paul James

There is irony in the title of this spectacular creation. ‘Pussy’ the tiger is edgy, impactful and bang up to date with elements of the latest detritus cast down upon our streets and pertinent slogans graffitied on the walls. Let’s take a closer look…

Majestic Presence

The nonchalant air of this stunningly captivating tiger sprawled across the kerbside not only belies the fierce, ferocious nature of this fabulous feline but also invites further reflection. As you gaze upon this powerful image, it challenges humankind to consider the impact of our encroachment into the natural habitats of these precious and increasingly rare wild creatures.

Artistic Brilliance

In his inimitable style, Paul truly captures the magnificent velveteen quality of the tiger’s fur and its striking markings. Moreover, the backdrop bursts with riotous colour, blending warm pinks and hot purple hues to enhance the overall composition dramatically.

A Message Wrapped in Humour

While this masterpiece conveys a serious message about conservation, Paul’s wry sense of humour shines through the intricate details of the painting. Interestingly, it cleverly merges serious themes with a playful approach, inviting viewers to reflect while also appreciating the artistry deeply.

Iconic References

You may notice the array of iconic and familiar references related to this majestic feline. From the song “That’s neat, that’s neat tiger feet” to Tiger Moth, Tiger Woods, and even William Blake’s famous lines, these elements not only add layers to the viewing experience but also enrich the narrative. Thus, this artwork weaves a tapestry of cultural connections, celebrating the tiger’s multifaceted role in our lives and society.

Paul James Art and Music

Although essentially self-taught he did attend art College, at the insistence of his teachers to study graphic design.

Paul however, did not feel it was necessarily the right path to take and this proved to be the case, so being something of a non-conformist, he made the decision not to complete the course.

Instead he started to paint. At first mostly mechanical subjects, such as classic cars and aircraft, and was a one-time member of the ‘Guild of motoring artists’.

He also made something of a living taking commissions to paint portraits of peoples pet dogs and cats.

Paul also was developing a career in music, playing both organ and piano in a range of pubs, clubs and cocktail bars, but after a while as this did not live up to the rock star lifestyle, he envisaged he returned to his art and took up painting professionally in 1986.
