James Hornsby is a contemporary artist working primarily with photography and video. He is known for his installations and photographic collages that conflate popular culture references and explore the impact of digital media on consciousness and modern life.

He is particularly interested in revealing the process and authenticity behind photographic image creation. Often using highly unique postproduction techniques to re-visualise his own photographs. Hornsby uses photography as a mode of collaboration to highlight and explore subculture phenomena.

Hornsby works fluidly across a wide variety of mediums including painting, fashion, performance and sculpture. His hyper-real and neo-expressionist style has also lent itself to experimental clothing collections, public art activations and involvements in events through both large-scale projection and live art.

Hornsby’s work has been exhibited in galleries, art centres and festivals including: BIGSOUND; Brisbane Powerhouse; Centre for Contemporary Photography; Brisbane Art and Design Festival; Adelaide Festival Centre; Brisbane Street Art Festival and the Queensland Museum. Hornsby has worked alongside organisations such as: Vogue Magazine; W Hotels; Vans; Universal Music Group; EMI; Amazon Music and Sony Music to see cross industry collaborations come to life.
