James Sparks – Artist

As a young child growing up in the 1950’s, my father would take me to many iconic Red Sox/Yankee rivalry games at Fenway Park and, like today, every game was a sellout. I remember being mesmerized by the colorful, animated sea of faces, the loud cheering, and the sheer energy of thousands of fans packed so closely together. 

My paintings capture the visual energy between the multitudes of different personalities contrasted by the geometric, regimented architecture of a sports stadium.
