James Dodd completed his Bachelor of Visual Arts (hons) degree at South Australian School of Art, Uni SA in 2000 and earned a Masters of Visual Arts in 2009.
James Dodd has exhibited widely across Australia in artist run, public funded and commercial spaces. His work traverses the boundaries between visual street culture, alternative use of urban space and existing gallery conventions. Primarily his work revolves around the use of found text such as graffiti. Dodd principally works as a painter, however he often experiments with the construction of objects to paint on for the purpose of large-scale installations.
