Paintings by James Gale

Sometimes even I find myself short on words, and the lyrical world isn’t enough to express what I’m feeling. When that happens, I turn to acrylics. This a way to translate abstract emotions and inner states into something tangible.

On this page, you’ll find a selection of those paintings. While I often explain the thought process behind them, they remain abstract. You might see or feel something entirely different than my original intent. And , to me, that’s the beauty and mysterious magic of abstract art.

If one of the pieces speaks to you, feel free to reach out via the contact form to inquire about purchasing or exhibiting it.

Some of the pieces are also available on my Etsy shop.
