Shades of grey, in the predominately black and white paintings of Cinnamonworld, reveal abstract shapes, contrasts and patterns to communicate powerful perspectives uniquely identifiable to 21st century American life. In James’ largest painting to date, Papillon proves that grace and beauty of a ballerina is as powerful as the force and strength of raring …
