About James Okore:

James Okore is a contemporary interdisciplinary artist, specializing in portrait paintings evoking vibrantly impacting colourful brushstrokes with obscure surroundings in the styles of Realism / Surrealism, juxtaposing reality with mind-bending environments to challenge the perception of the viewer, which shines a light on the many experiences he’s had in my life, thus far.
