We are delighted to present the first solo show of paintings by Terrell James at Cadogan Contemporary.
The exhibition brings together paintings from 2009 to the present, giving the viewer an insightful and
captivating glimpse into James’ active career and recent work.
A prominent member of the arts community in Texas, James has travelled extensively and developed a
considerable international following along the way. Every landscape witnessed and experience encountered is
brought to life in her masterful paintings through a unique lens of abstraction.
We are very grateful to Terrell’s good friend, acclaimed artist and writer Michael Petry for his perceptive and
intriguing catalogue essay ‘The Abstraction of the physical into the poetic’.
As Cadogan Contemporary further expands its reach into America, it is a joy discovering artists as strong
as James and we look forward to strengthening and developing her reputation in the UK and internationally.
I do hope you will be able to see this exhibition in person.

The abstraction of the physical into the poetic
It might be argued that everything we see is already abstract.There is no realness to things we see, things
exist of course, but what we call them, name them, how we speak of them, are abstract concepts about
any realness there might be.We have almost no agreement on what those names mean, that is why
translation is nearly impossible. Even when what we are trying to describe, say, an apple, a real apple as
opposed to one painted by Lucas Cranach, the Elder, the word (apple) conjures into each person’s mind
a different idea (figure 1).The apple in my eye will most likely be different from the apple in the heads
of others who might hear me vocalize it. My apple might be bright red, or even green, or yellow, or any
shade in between.This state of affairs is complicated by the fact we cannot agree on what red is, for that
also calls into mind the possibility of misunderstanding my red and yours. If your native tongue is Spanish
you must instantly translate apple into manzana, or if you are French you will internally hear pomme, and
a Finn will see an omena in their mind’s eye. If you are Chinese the very tone of my voice changes it’s
meaning, and if you are a person who has never seen one, it might have no meaning for you at all. But
there might be a real apple that I could take a bite out of, but its taste would be different for each of us.
Without getting too scientific, what we see, when we look, is Fig.1. Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553),
the reflection of photons off of an object – not the Adam and Eve, 1526,The Samuel Courtauld
object itself. In a way we never see anything real.We can feel Trust,The Courtauld Gallery, London
realness, stroke it, finger it, flip it over in our hand, but that is
generally frowned upon in a museum or gallery context.You
break it you bought it, might be ok for plates in a shop, but a
fingerprint on the surface of a painting is definitely a no-no. So
if we cannot see the real form or colour of a thing, or
understand what someone else means in the naming of a
thing, and we are not allowed to touch it, how can we trust an
artistic depict of it? Cranach has a naked Eve tenderly
proffer a bright red apple to a fig-leafed Adam.While I know
the depiction features the apple, a possibly real apple in his
time, it really is the depiction of a creation myth (that most
likely did not happen).The scene looks real but is in fact
completely abstract.
If such a depiction is abstract, is it really any less abstract than say Manet’s Le dejeuner sur l’herbe? Again
we see a naked woman, and clothed men, while they have on a lot more than a leaf, next to her is a spilt
basket of fruit including very loosely painted cherries, and what surely must be apples.Their depiction
is rather loose and they could be another type of fruit altogether. Cezanne also worked over and over
again to make apples appear as real as possible in the most abstract way, a perfect brush stroke here,
another dab there, strokes that do not resolve they simply mesh, they spin a web for our minds. Cezanne
tricks us into believing that we really are seeing the apples (or their reflected photons) that he did, over
a hundred years ago. I long to steal one from any wall I see those apples hanging on. Unlike Adam, I
am sure I would never be tempted to take a bite – I want the whole thing.Yet these are very abstract
depictions that Cranach might not even know how to read. Cranach might only see the individual brush
strokes and assume these paintings are merely sketches for never finished works.
Which brings me to Terrell James and her Field Studies (figs. 2&3). She has made over 500 plein air
works where she tries to put down exactly what she sees in terms of colour, some blue sky, the yellow of
hay or dry grass, the red of an apple – but not its shape. She then takes these back to her studio where
they inform her major works.They are not studies for paintings but a vast visual library for her to call
upon, to use when she too makes a brush stroke as part of a composition that most people these days

would call abstract. Cranach might see the base of a landscape in her work but wonder why it does not
resolve into an apple grove.
Her paintings are not depictions of thing but are things.They might reference a landscape, or an emotion,
or the colour of a barn, but they are not aiming to ape those real things, she is not try to copy them,
reduce them from their three dimensional roundness to a two dimensional representation of them. She
does not even try to replicate the colours of the things she sees in her paintings (that is the job of the
Field Studies). James aims at creating new things that did not exist before, that are real and have only the
colours that we see and the internal workings and structure of her marks, and the layers of them one
on top of the other.The artist whose work I think might best be said to be her artistic father is Keith
Vaughan. I love his landscapes as much as his nudes and those that are almost wholly abstract are the
very best. I am not sure if she would agree or even if she has seen much of his work from the late 1950s
when he was trying to capture the landscape near the Iowa State University (where he was teaching),
but if not, she has certainly absorbed the fruits of his efforts.These works built on earlier ones he did of
Greek, French and British landscapes.
Vaughan was trying to capture what he saw and in a way, his very abstract landscapes have freed
subsequent artists, like James, to simply paint. Her work often has the look of a remembrance of the real,
as if woken from a dream, as if she has had that image in her mind and she has fought to get it down
on canvas, so that it becomes real. Struggle is perhaps the right word or maybe it is too strong because
the paintings look effortless, but that is why, as an artist, I know there has been a real struggle in their
creation.The dancer who spins on a single spot, or leaps into the air carelessly has done that thousands
of times, and has broken down the steps over and over again (like the Field Studies). Flow comes when
resistance has been worn away – look at a river bed, as James does and see how her paint flows freely
around the frame, yet always comes together to form a whole. Some of her works are very big like
Phalanx (84 x 216 inches), 2007) or Maritime Forrest (2009) a diptych where each piece is over 17 feet
tall (fig.4). Even her medium sized works like Miami (2011) are over 5 feet long, so she handles scale in
her stride both large and small.
An unlikely influence on James is Henry Moore, not so much his works on paper but his large sculptures,
and what she has taken by drawing from life. James has noted that Moore owned a small Turner water-
Fig. 4.Terrell James: Maritime Forest, 2013 at Hiram Butler Gallery, Houston,Texas
colour and of course we can see how his skies and storms have washed over Moore as they have her.
Moore illustrated a book of poems by W.H. Auden and said in the introduction that “Turner- whether
on canvas or paper - can create almost measurable distances of space and air - air that you can draw, in
which you can work out what the section through it would be. The space he creates is not emptiness;
it is filled with ‘solid’ atmosphere.” Clearly Turner has influenced a vast number of abstract painters as
so many of his greatest works are barely figurative at all.They press almost to the breaking point what
people of his age could have seen as painting.Were Turner not already considered a great artist I am sure
many would have responded to him as they did to the Impressionists - with derision. Ruskin infamously
claimed that Whistler merely threw a paint pot in the face of the public, but time has shown Whistler
10
the winner in the game of art history.Without Cezanne,Turner and Fig 5. A Poison Tree (series) Songs Of
Whistler painting would be a very different art form. Innocence and Of Experience: Shewing
the Two Contrary States of the Human
James, like Whistler, is fond of evocative titles. I, however, like look- Soul,William Blake, 1794 © Trustees of the
ing at her paintings first, without knowing the titles, taking in the British Museum
colours, shapes and gestures.The works wash over you and flood
your mind and when you know the title, they seem to distil into her Figure 6. Remembering the poison
memory, not your own. (Figure 6) Remembering the Poison Tree tree, oil on canvas, 66” x 66”
(2015), is very lush but has no colours that I have seen on trees,
poisonous or not. After reading the title we have to regroup our
ideas about what we are seeing. A beautiful pink hovers in the top
right corner while bright deep blues pop out across the painting,
and as with all good abstraction it has its own infrastructure. It just
works, as does The Lost Boys (2009) whose title makes the view-
er seek out a hint of Peter Pan, or Corey Haim in his cheap 1987
vampire thriller.There is a huge blue horizontal drip at the heart
of the painting, which makes me think she was channelling the film
as opposed to J M Barrie, either way it is a terrific work.William
Blake’s illustrated poem A Poison Tree (Fig 5.) and Walter Clemons
(born in Houston,Texas but lived and worked in New York) collec-
tion of short stories The Poison Tree, both have a bearing on James’
painting.
But other titles are more mysterious or at least poetic and vague,
like Instigators (2009), Regiment (2014), or Panoply 1 (2012)
which really is a very impressive display, all bright reds, greens and
yellows, where the brushstrokes smudge up against each other and
are then enhanced by strokes that look like line drawings.They pull
the eye back and forth across the canvas, which looks as if at any
moment all the colours will shift. Copernicus (2016) has a similar
energy and while the image is totally resolved, it too, looks as if it might morph before our eyes. I think
only works with such inner clarity can treat the eye and the mind in this way, like the very late Monet
lilies.Where his lilies become almost abstract, the paintings are still legible as works made in a specific
landscape.We have no idea of the landscapes that reside deep in James works, but we should be very
happy that she has been there, and brought us back her view of them and changed them into real
objects of poetry.
