Self-taught, James paints in a raw, emotionally charged style that rejects formal constraints—layering spray paint, acrylics, oil pastels, graffiti mops into frenetic, mixed media, multi-perspective compositions. His portraits—distorted yet human, spiritual yet grounded—evoke both the mask and the mirror, offering a glimpse into the human psyche shaped by society and survival. His paintings are not merely images but energetic transmissions, layered with emotional color fields, stream-of-consciousness inscriptions, and multi-perspective portraiture. James constructs visual terrains that pulse with movement and multiplicity, challenging linearity and status quo.
