About the Item
"Fish, Chips and Jazz!" by Therese James invites viewers into a vibrant and animated streetscape filled with the bustling energy of everyday life. Devoid of grass, hills, or trees, instead, a stark white floor serves as the stage for a colorful cast of characters, from families to children to couples, all bustling about their daily activities.
The scene unfolds beneath a soft blue textured sky, its gentle hues providing a serene backdrop to the lively street below. Despite the absence of natural elements, there is a palpable sense of familiarity and nostalgia that permeates the air, evoking memories of carefree days and bustling city streets.
Throughout the painting, bright and vibrant colors abound, infusing the scene with a sense of joy and vitality. Each brushstroke bursts with energy, capturing the vivacity of urban life in all its colorful glory.
Boats bob gently on the water in the background, their presence seamlessly blending into the skyscape above. This harmonious fusion of land and sea adds depth and dimension to the composition, inviting viewers to explore the layers of the scene with curiosity and wonder.
In contrast to the tranquil sky above, the streets below are alive with vibrant activity, with characters darting about in animated motion. The childlike style of the painting adds to its charm, infusing the scene with a whimsical quality that delights the senses.
"Fish, Chips and Jazz!" is not merely a depiction of a bustling city street; it is a celebration of community, connection, and the simple pleasures of everyday life. The artwork embodies the spirit of urban living and invites viewers to revel in its colorful tapestry of sights and sounds.
Signed by the artist, these captivating artworks are unframed and painted around the corners on deep edge canvases, enhancing their immersive quality and allowing the vibrant scenes to extend beyond traditional boundaries. Whether admired in person at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea or online, "Fish, Chips and Jazz!" invites viewers to immerse themselves in a vibrant world where every corner holds the promise of adventure and discovery.

“Over the many years I have worked, my style has slowly and naturally evolved and through continuously working and experimenting it has become an extension of who I am. I work the paint with my hands until I get to the finer details, I get an instinctive feel for when the consistency is just right and then I go with it. I never know how I am going to get there – I only know I have to and that when the journey is complete, I will know. Each one is a roller coaster of emotions, a pilgrimage to places once visited in my mind and heart. The Welsh word ‘Hiraeth’ is what best describes it for me – it is a deep longing for home, that home is inside me, trying to find this place and transform it into something tangible is what continuously fires me to keep painting. It is these places and paintings that make the connections between Therese’s audience and her paintings.” – Therese James

Therese James
We are pleased to sell works on behalf of Therese James. Therese is a full time artist painting and exhibiting since 1993. As a member of the Naive School she works from a compulsion to recreate what she feels and sees. As a self taught naive she relies purely on an instinctive approach to her art and has developed her own style with expressive characters who inhabit the world of her paintings. Therese gets much of her inspiration from the places and literature of her native Wales and the West Country of England. She says she paints the way she paints because she doesn’t know “the rules” and her paintings are a journey of discovery. More recently she has been inspired to use her painterly skills to create wild and untamed responses to nature, creating semi abstracted, almost primal, sea and landscapes reflecting the raw untrained, instinctive way in which she works. Therese is very well collected with her works in collections in N. America, Europe, Australasia and Asia.
