Welcome to the online gallery featuring the unique work of Jamess Stryganek.
Living in Florida, he has shown has work throughout many major cities in the U.S. This gallery's goal is to expose more people to this artwork,book future gallery shows as well as sell the artwork itself.

- Classified as "Contemporary Pop-Art", Jamess modestly just refers to these pieces as "my artwork"."I've always been fascinated by the way Warhol would look at the most seemingly "mundane" subjects and everyday objects and decide "you're going to be a star" and with that, it was done, pouring his energy and marketing talent into making it happen and making the world belive that they had to have a piece of that image, to be part of "that" crowd. That is similar to what I believe in most of my subjects. Whether I love you or hate you or just see something I think the world needs to see more of, I definitely feel something for the persons that I'm putting in my artwork."

Jamess has displayed and/or won awards for his artwork in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Baltimore, Washington D.C. , California, and Chicago.

-Pushing himself to try new techniques, materials, and subject matters he has made a name for himself by working larger than most without losing the detail and quality of his work.That has always been one of his main focuses."A portrait isn't a portrait if you have to ask yourself who the person is..."states Jamess when asked about his commitment to detail. Many works have either been for projects or galleries but none of his pieces stray from his personal desire to create a certain mood,to convey a specific message. Commission pieces are no different.Not all ideas or subjects will make it to canvas.

Jamess is available for commissioned work, gallery appearances, booking, and purchase of his already completed works of art.
