James Jean’s Vanity
“Incorporating traditional symbolism and dynamic narratives, Kindling introduces finely rendered imagery created with Jean’s unique aesthetic, extraordinarily kinetic style and sophisticated color palette. The subjects, as the artist explains, glide through the tableaux, tracing a narrative of thwarted desires. His subtle yet suggestive themes of metamorphosis, mortality, and sexuality blend together seamlessly, bridging the gap between the real and imagined. ” (NYArtBeat.com, James Jean “Kindling: New Works on Paper and Canvas,” — link)
Another artist quote/inspiration from same assignment. Love love love love it.
