James Carey

James Carey was born in Melbourne in 1977 and attended Monash University and RMIT Melbourne before pursuing a career as a designer and fine artist.

His paintings explore the concept of lived experience and by working spontaneously and utilizing a range of mediums, he constructs multi-layered, textured environments easily likened to the complexities of contemporary life. His paintings have been shown worldwide and are held in many private and public collections.

His more recent work has focused on the blurring of architecture, design and art. Whilst working on a more urban scale - using houses and buildings as the canvas – he investigates the idea of giving a new or different reading to a certain environment.

He was involved in the “The Final Curtain” 26 Surf St., 2007, ‘Data Landscape’ Stanley St, Collingwood (as part of Penthouse Mouse) 2008, and along with Campbell Drake; their project “Blundell House”, Merricks Beach, Victoria 2005, won an award at the Shanghai Biennale 2007.

Along with the “Depot” project in April 2008, James was also involved in “2020?” - an intervention at the Nth Melbourne Meat Market as part of the Next Wave Festival in May, 2008.

James Carey continues to practise under the name of akustikstudio and teaches in the Architecture and Design Faculty at RMIT University.
