James Jean

James Jean: drawing and the printed edition

Born in Taipei and trained at the School of Visual Arts in New York, James Jean works across drawing, painting and objects. His official exhibition history includes museum projects in Asia and North America. A useful introduction to his work is to follow how a line organises an entire image rather than focusing only on the subject it describes.

In Raven, the print presented at ArtComburo, a figure, plant-like forms and decorative elements create a dense composition. The eye moves between the face, silhouette and small signs, gradually finding new connections. It rewards two viewing distances: first as a complete image, then through its individual fragments.

For Raven, crystalline finishes, foil details and sculptural enhancements form part of the printed surface. These features apply to the particular edition rather than every James Jean print. Check the product page for sheet dimensions, framing, numbering and included documentation. Changes in illumination alter the reflective details; photographs help show them but do not replace the specifications for the offered impression.
