He often creates paste-ups, tearing and working into large-scale artworks and creating distortion in actions such as smashing glass images and text.
Jimmy has worked widely creating album covers, music videos and stage visuals for artists such as Beck, Kasabian, The Chemical Brothers, The Rolling Stones and the estates of Elvis and Aretha Franklin. His has developed limited edition clothing collections for HUGO Boss and Neuw Denim, live visuals for Chanel, campaigns for Adidas, The Royal Opera House and Getty.
“EMMA BOSELEY, NEUW MENSWEAR DESIGNER: ”
"We wanted to work with Jimmy because his work is very different to the art collaborations we had done prior. Jimmy’s use of collage and mixed media is something really unique that we gravitated to."
“Niomi Fairweather, Curator at the Baltic: ”
"We knew Fenwick were keen to create a new commission for this project with a local artist. It was an easy pitch as curator because Jimmy’s work can easily pull you in from just first glance. His studio is a stone’s throw away from Baltic, and its artists like Jimmy who continue to practice and champion the region that give pride and confidence to those more emerging artists that are looking to pave the way in the North East. We are eternally grateful to Jimmy for all his support on this project."
