Madonna and Child in The Suburbs 11 (Arranging Flowers) by Rebecca James

This painting is the eleventh in a series called Madonna and Child In The Suburbs. I always wonder about Mary. Not only did she have a uniquely crucial role in the christian story but she was also the mother of the human baby Jesus, and, as such, must have spent time doing the things all mothers do — breastfeeding, changing nappies (or what counted as nappies two millennia ago), struggling with sleeplessness, fatigue and anxiety. This series is not only an appreciation of the unique experience of mother love, but a celebration of the the timeless and transcendent nature of love itself. Because love unites us all, divine and human alike.

I hope that my art captures something true about the world — the beauty of the ordinary, the complexity of human interaction, the intensity of an emotion. My art is largely figurative and I attempt to represent what I see and experience with a sense of appreciation and humour. My work is colourful and eye-catching and can tend towards the naive, sometimes incorporating elements of fantasy. I like my art to tell a story, to prompt the viewer to think ‘I know exactly how that feels,’ or to inspire a sense of joy, longing or nostalgia.
