The intention of James is to give a different view point on how people interpret art or many aspects of life for that matter. His technique includes obtaining visual history of the subject such as images, letters, magazine covers, and song lyrics. James loves paintings but noticed people often glance and obtain a mental image like a camera before moving to the next piece. He wants to create pieces that makes people truly take time to digest the art piece and appreciate the many layers. James assembles the layers in a way that creates mood provoking vibrant art. This process gives his pieces their incredible depth.

INSPIRATION

The Inspiration

Fascinated with independent and foreign films and their posters, James saw a way of conveying the many layers and complexities of his subject. He attempted to recreate movie posters to look 3D instead of digitally enhanced. James is inspired by a myriad of images including those of celebrities, music, recordings, film productions, and brand advertisements. He enjoys the study of these images for the creation of his artwork, which consists of acrylic paint, spray paint, and mixed media.
