James Michalopoulos studied art at the University of New Orleans, New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, and Bowdoin College. He graduated from Bowdoin with a Bachelor of Arts in 1974. Best known for his distinctive architectural renderings, he has created a reputation based on his unique portrayal of the music and energy lurking in houses. His oil paintings capture the life, movement and personality of these structures. In this spirit his houses live, breathe and move like the people who inhabit them.His work can be described as expressionistic, gestural, energetic and colorful. In addition to architectural portraits, Michalopoulos subjects include landscapes, automobiles and figures. James Michalopoulos has designed stage sets for the House of Blues in both New Orleans and Los Angeles.In 1998, 2001, and 2003 Michalopoulos was commissioned to create the official poster for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
