NEW YORK, NY.- Flowers Galley presents the New York City
debut
of British artist Claerwen James with an exhibition of her new paintings
that
will run from May 21st through June 26th, 2010. A catalog with a
foreword by New
Yorker critic Anthony Lane will accompany the exhibition. All of the
works
originated as photographs: some scavenged, some taken by the artist, who

believes that the awkwardness of the photographic moment is crucial to
the
painful, elegiac quality of the paintings.
