** GALLOPING HORSES MADE FROM DRIFTWOOD ** James Doran-Webb is a British artist currently based in the Philippines. James, whose parents are antique dealers, spent much of his childhood travelling; living in countless cities as his parents pursued antiques and artworks. Additionally, much of his childhood was spent in the workshops of his parents’ antiques restoration company. This unique upbringing ignited his passion for art as well as whittling, carving and refinishing. James has said his extensive experience with antiques and restoration has allowed him to see ‘potential’ in what others might classify as waste or discarded material. The use of such materials is a recurring theme in James’ work, with much of his time spent finding the ‘right pieces’ for his amazing sculptures. Visit: omgfactsonline
