Meet James Brown | Visual Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with James Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi James, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
Through bright colors and subtle subliminal’s, my work displays a wide array of mediums permitting me to acclimatize to various techniques, while integrating my own individual artistic touch to each development. Through various mediums, my intention is to inspire a mass audience by awakening their divine creativity. My passion for the arts has been entrenched within me yearning to distinguish the artistry in all phases of life which has forced me to continuously strive for brilliance. As a spectator, I anticipate that you are capable to embrace and value this collaboration of work. Ultimately, through the use of bright colors it is my intention to bring joy and positive interactions even if the subject matter may appear dim.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
As a motivated hard worker, I feel that my pleasant demeanor and positive attitude allows me to adapt quickly to various environments. Though ultimately, I just keep going with my art. For instance I may mess up on a project, though I just pause and analyze and keep working on my art until I feel it’s corrected.

What the world should know about myself is that I comprise of an admirable aesthetic judgment and a scrupulous eye for detail. Various occurrences have trained me to think imaginatively to push limitations and perform under pressure by meeting rigid goals. Additionally, my work displays a wide array of mediums permitting me to acclimatize to various techniques, while integrating my own individual artistic touch to each development.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love going to museums of course. After that, we all need food, though due to my strict diet of being a Vegan it’s not always applicable to eat certain places, though gratefully Nashville offers plenty of vegan restaurants and options. One of my favorite places to eat is “Southern V” , whose staple is a Nashville hot vegan chicken and biscuit sandwich. Other places I frequent often are coffee/tea shops and the bookstore. Other than that I’m really open and adventurous to try new things and love learning about people through great conversations and what they’re into.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Like the saying says, “ it takes a village to raise a child”.I’m definitely a product of my environment, upbringing, and culture…My parents and grandparents always instilled in me how important education is and how far it would take me. Being third generation from graduating college has definitely impacted my life immensely through opening doors that otherwise wouldn’t have been present without a great education and wise family.

A great book that I read back in 2008, which was introduced to me by my mother, is the book “Outliers” by author Malcolm Gladwell. The premise of the book is that if one applies and dedicates themselves to whatever they want for ten-thousand hours that one may achieve mastering that craft. Which I’ve definitely over applied in art, since I’ve been creating art since I was age of four.
