Pretending

Pretending

2021 42" Photography

This is the very last available edition in any size of "Pretending", James' most popular piece he's made thus far!

The process for creating Pretending was as multidimensional and layered as the final image. Inspired by MGMT’s “Time to Pretend”, this photograph was taken in-studio with model Nick Boisseau.

So many interesting and fun techniques create the final work! To create the image of the clone figure that floats parallel to Nick, James photographed pink slime as a photo assistant stretched it between his hands and later used baby oil to create a realistic sheen for the clone. The final image is a combination of over 25 photos from the shoot that embody the wistful abandon of the song that inspired it.

Collector size, edition 3 of 3. Includes black, white, or maple frame. Hahnemühle Fine Art Pearl archival paper.

FellowArt artist profile picture of James Miille

James Miille

James is a composite photographer prominently featured in the likes of Artnet and Create! Magazine. His solo exhibitions include the likes of New York, Miami, and Paris, and his recent works have had a successful reception in both queer spaces (Art Gaysel, 2023) and in high design settings (Architectural Digest, 2020). Visual fables focused on the sensitive beauty of men have increasingly become the focus of James’ work. Also a passionate musician, James intertwines his two creative ambitions with photos inspired by his favorite songs. An ongoing project, each image aims to strike the feeling of the song and transform that feeling into a universal image. James Miille is also a versatile force at Superfine Art Fair, bringing a profound aesthetic sensibility to the fair’s curation, artist relationships, and web development. His multi-faceted approach enriches the organization’s visual narrative. In addition to Superfine, James served as a curatorial juror for ArtSpan’s AMPLIFY awards in San Francisco last year and will be the sole juror for Nalin Kamat’s showcase of young artists under 18 at Little EGG Gallery’s NYC opening this spring.
