James R Ford is a conceptual artist whose work contemplates human desire, absurdity in the everyday, and the search for meaning in art and life.

In a world where so much conceptual art is dead boring, Ford, with his wit, panache and mischievous intelligent practice, avoids that pitfall. He delivers.

Ford (b. 1980) studied at Nottingham Trent University and then Goldsmiths College in England. He has exhibited widely in public, private and artist run spaces in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and further afield internationally.
