In our first Murals In The Market 2016 Artist Profile, we highlight Detroit artist Sydney G. James. Born and raised in Detroit, James is a calm and calculated voice in the city’s tight knit art community, and her latest series Appropriated Not Appreciated James calls attention to the state of black women in America. Most recently James was featured in our recent group exhibition The Detroiter in San Francisco and her pieces continue to gain critical and fan acclaim both locally and nationally. With a unique voice and a powerful message, James continues to prove that she is an artist to watch not only here in Detroit, but around the world. Read on to get a quick look into Sydney G. James’ 2016 mural and see process photos below to see her recent mural for the 2016 Murals In The Market…
