Todd James is an internationally renowned artist whose singular style and bright palette create vibrant worlds for his audience. Beginning his art career as a teenager in the New York City subway system of the early 1980s, James mastered the practical challenges of good design at an early age, and soon was designing many iconic logos for artists including Mobb Deep, the Beastie Boys, Iggy Pop, Redman, Pharrell, and Eminem. He also designed the Puppets for Comedy Centrals “Crank Yankers”. James has Collaborated with brands like Adidas, Supreme and Billionaire Boys Club and many others. By the late 1990s James was focused primarily on his fine art practice, and his subsequent work was twice selected for the Venice Biennale (2001, 2015). James often channels politics and humor into his paintings, and his war planes, tanks, and snipers remain some of the most potent iconography of the past two decades. James has exhibited his work in museums worldwide, including the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, the Tate Museum in Liverpool, the High Museum in Atlanta, the Abattoirs Museum in Toulouse, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
