Zugswang by James Jean. This 80 page release catalogs work exhibited at Hidari Zingaro Gallery in Tokyo, curated by Takeshi Murakami. Signed plate numbered 155 of 2000.
James Jean offers a fresh perspective on both the East and West's Old Masters. His compositions' technical skill is reminiscent of Renaissance painters, and his reimaginings of the Great Wave honor Hokusai, the founder of Japanese painting. The animated figuration, in contrast, blends ancient and modern art histories from Europe and Asia and is reminiscent of Manga, Anime, and American comic books. In addition to painting and drawing, Jean also produces stained glass, sculpture, installations, and other works using a vibrant color palette that alternates between vivid digital colours and softer Romantic tones. His work has garnered a lot of attention in both fine art and popular culture thanks to high-profile partnerships with brands like Prada and Apple, a massive online following, and representation by Takashi Murakami, a contemporary art hero.
