My hyperrealism portrait of Tony Blair and one of his many many victims. What can I say about this portrait. I am sorry to say that anger drove me to create this painting. Anger kept me going in all the hundreds of hours in my studio whilst painting this man.

Tony Blair and George Bush were the two leaders who pushed for war in Iraq and justified it by claiming falsely that Iraq had nuclear weapons. The war and its sanctions have resulted in the death of approximately 500,000 children in Iraq. Tony Blair was knighted in 2022.

The Knighthood medal can be seen on Tony Blair as he wraps his arm around an injured Iraqi boy as he smiles for the camera.

A politician responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of children was rewarded with a knighthood.

I hope that you can sense anger seeping out of every pore of the canvas because I can assure you it is there.

James first came to prominence in 2013 when he was chosen to be a part of The Art Investors’ acclaimed 2013 “Seven Artists Exhibition”, this exhibition was held at London’s Strand Gallery and focused on 7 of the very best young Artists in the world. James’ display of his portrayal of famous musicians was much publicised.

His work took another route in 2015 with his powerful and emotional studies of homeless people, victims of war and religious martyrs. This work took him to another level in the art world as he was nominated by The BP award, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters and The Royal Institute Of Portrait Painters culminating in his work being displayed at the iconic and famous Mall Gallery in the heart of London. James was selected in 2019 to show his work at the prestigious London Biennale.

James has been described by the German Kunst Heute publication as well as The International Contemporary Art Curators as one of the most significant artists in the world today.

James Earley has thus emerged as one of the foremost pioneers of figurative and hyperrealism painting in Britain today, a fact all the more remarkable since James is a self taught artist.

In 2019 James was awarded first prize at The prestigious London Biennale, the Giotto International Prize and the Leonardo da Vinci International Prize. James was awarded the Venice International Art Prize in 2020 and was chosen by The European Cultural Centre to exhibit his work at the Venice Biennale 2022. James had the honour of having his work exhibited at The Louvre Paris and Bonhams Auction House in London in 2022. James won the prestigious Contemporary American Art Collectors Award in 2024
