Anthony James

Anthony James is a London-born, Los Angeles–based artist recognised for his monumental sculptures and immersive installations that merge stainless steel, glass, and LED. Drawing on Minimalism, Transcendentalism, and the Light & Space movement, his practice explores infinity, sacred geometry, and the universal connections between nature and human experience. James first studied painting at Central Saint Martins before transitioning into large-scale, light-based works that have earned him international acclaim. In 2023, he became the first visual artist to exhibit on all seven continents with the installation of one of his iconic Portals in Antarctica. His major public projects include installations at London’s Marble Arch, the Chelsea Flower Show, Saatchi Gallery, and Oxford Street, where his LED facades transformed architecture into cosmic environments. His works have been exhibited at the Palm Springs Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Art Basel, and The Armory Show, and remain on view in cities such as Dubai, London, Singapore, and New York.

At the intersection of art, architecture, and innovative design, Bassam Freiha Art Foundation (BFAF) proudly presents two monumental sculptures by Anthony James, a celebrated British–American artist renowned for his explorations of light, space, and geometric form. His works, meditations on infinity, combine modern materials with classical ideals, evoking a sense of the sublime.

James’s sculptures, like the Foundation itself, offer an immersive experience, creating a timeless dialogue between tradition and modernity. The meticulously crafted steel, LED, and glass structures on display at BFAF open gateways into realms that feel both intimate and vast, reflecting the Foundation’s architectural language.

The BFAF building, with its minimalist elegance and clean lines, forms a seamless counterpart to James’s luminous artworks. Just as the architecture harmonizes simplicity with monumental presence, James’s sculptures inspire contemplation of the cosmos, while grounding viewers in the present moment. This dialogue between heritage and innovation lies at the heart of the Foundation’s mission – bridging the temporal and the eternal. The architecture, with its nods to regional heritage and the surrounding landscape, becomes a vital element in the experience, reinforcing the Foundation’s vision of honouring the past while embracing future possibilities.
