James Lahey is a Canadian artist whose contemporary figurative painting is distinguished by an expressionist touch and a richly material palette. His portraits and genre scenes capture moments of life with directness and human warmth that contrast with the sophistication of his technical execution. Working from his studio in Toronto, Lahey feeds his practice with careful observation of the everyday, combining classical painterly tradition with a resolutely contemporary sensibility.
