A native New Yorker, James Bama creates photo-real figures and
paintings that capture the old "wild west." He keeps a very tidy
studio from where he converts his many photographs into paintings whose
surfaces are so smooth and satiny that some people refer to him as the
"Vermeer of the West" (McGarry 30).
He graduated from New York
City's High School of Music and Arts and then served in the military
for three years. He attended the Art Students League and became a
reno (showing 500 of 3425 characters). |
