The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art, in its short tenure,
has established a truly Western persona – or so we thought.
Get ready to expand your view of the James, as the museum’s
second special exhibition, ”James Michaels: An American Pop
Life,” comes in without a cowboy in sight. Michaels, a Tampa
Bay artist, exhibits his work in Pop Expressionism and Painterly
Realism.
Inspired by popular culture, childhood memories, and life
experiences, Michaels’ colorful canvases feature art history
references alongside depictions of classic toys and cartoons.
Runs November 17 through March 3. thejamesmuseum.org
