James Dejeu

Visual Art – Sacramento

Paying attention to the details reveals a clearer sense of character and this manifests in James Dejeu’s art as hyper-realistic portraits created with an airbrush. Dejeu’s art sets an atmosphere of style and decadence. Dejeu started working with airbrushes at his father’s auto body shop, doing custom paint jobs on cars and motorcycles. From there, he realized the potential of the airbrush in a fine art application, and he moved from sheet metal to canvas. The pinup girls of the custom car lifestyle were the earliest influence in Dejeu\'s art. His current series is focused on aesthetic beauty and mood, the female figure remaining the dominant aspect in his work.
