James Stewart currently sculpts in London, England where he is Creature Supervisor for Moving Picture Company, the visual effects company behind "Harry Potter" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". James, through his mastery for sculpting for the screen and for real life presents the first bronze in his sculpture Journalist Series, "Hana" The Journalist Series captures the life and culture of a locale in sculpture. James carefully researches and explores each territory before selecting the representative model. "The combination of race, land, climate and culture leave their mark on its people. I go in search of that essence. When I see him or her I can see by the way they carry themselves, it is almost like their character breathes ... a true extension of the land. When I can feel this I know they are right." "In terms of the place of Hana, Hawaii, it is a simple, majestic land where the beauty is abundant and the power (mana) is deeply rooted. Hana is a place of years and wisdom and yet is constantly changing. All aspects of this needed to be accurately reflected." The combination of these aspects of Hana Hawaii, represented through the Man, allow the sculpture to seem life sized even though it is 3 feet tall. In terms of methodology, "Whether working on Aslan (the lead character for 'Narnia') or 'Hana', I require the same fundamentals in sculpture. I break down form into bones and muscle. I understand the way they move, flex and stretch whether working in clay or the computer". "Sculpting since I was a kid I no longer use the medium as an impediment to the form. I am one of a fortunate few who can afford to sculpt full time and have taught myself to sculpt what I feel, beyond simply knowing form." James illustrates his commitment, talents and passion in a calculated and flowing style which entwines his own energy with the soul of his model. Further James' work on the critically acclaimed "chronicles of Narnia", "Shrek 2", "Madagascar", and over a decade of sculpture is fused to be able to create "Hana" James continues his "Sculpture Journalist Series" Look for new pieces in 2006.
