James Springall takes found imagery out of context to create alternate narratives, often employing satire to make social commentary.

His work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and Saatchi Gallery, featured by AnOther, Elephant and Huck, and commissioned by VICE, Rough Trade and Noble Rot. He has curated exhibtions of contemporary collage art for Jealous Gallery, London and Viborg Museum, Denmark.
