Matthew H. James is an artist born and raised in Hawai'i. He has exhibited in Italy, Iceland, Miami, Manila, NYC, Honolulu and Paris. He is currently finishing a 21 foot resin work for Kamehameha Schools at their new Salt development in Kaka’ako and has worked with high profile clientele such as Vera Wang and the 1.3 billion dollar Solaire resort in the Philippines.
Growing up in Hawai’i, Matthew experienced the strength of people, brought together by their diverse backgrounds. This pushed him to create art that combines contradictions in a harmonious way, reflecting the common threads and universal qualities we all share. Through the creation of sculptures that transcends everyday life Matthew strives to transport viewers to another time and place, inspiring them to think outside of themselves.
