When Leaves Fall transforms the seasonal change of leaves of the Parisian chestnut tree into a lyrical study of colour, movement, and organic abstraction.
Through enlargement and close framing, leaves become sweeping bands, folds, and undulating planes. Saturated magentas and burgundies meet ochres, creams, earthen browns, and incisive yellow-green, creating rhythm, depth, and chromatic tension.
Observed in the gardens and streets of Paris, the… chestnut tree provides JChadima with a point of departure rather than a literal subject. Colour becomes structural as forms fold, overlap, and dissolve, shifting the composition between recognition and abstraction.
Here, the architecture of the leaves becomes almost topographical, suggesting ridges, valleys, and flowing terrain. When Leaves Fall transforms seasonal change into a meditation on movement, impermanence, transformation, and organic form.

James Chadima (JChadima)
France
JChadima (James Chadima) is a Paris-based multidisciplinary artist whose painting, drawing, and photography explore the transformation of observed reality through colour, form, and abstraction. Born in Wisconsin, he studied Fine Arts and Psychology at the University of Southern Colorado, now Colorado State University Pueblo.
Under the guidance of John Henry Johnson, whose documented relationship and correspondence with Ansel Adams introduced JChadima to the Zone System, he developed a disciplined way of seeing that continues to inform his work. This foundation connects his practice to American Modernism through Adams, Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Arthur Dove.
At the heart of JChadima’s practice is transformation. Close observation moves his work beyond the familiar, reimagining his subjects through line, form, colour, rhythm, structure, and space.
Exhibited and collected internationally, JChadima is recognized by AKOUN and holds an established international quotation for his work.
