Pomegranate

タイトルの「Pomegranate」は、ザクロのこと。本図に描かれたザクロからしたたる紅色で化粧をする女性は、ザクロの持つ豊穣や子孫繁栄といった強い生命力・存在感を身にまとおうとしているようにも見えます。木版画特有の鮮やかな発色を生かした、色彩のコントラストが鮮烈な作品です。 この商品は完売いたしました。(Homage to UKIYOE 6図セットでのご用意のみ承っております)

James Jean was born in Taiwan and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Renowned for his virtuosic ability to work across different genres with an imaginative and multifaceted approach to image making, he has held exhibitions of his fine art in New York, Los Angeles, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Jean fuses contemporary subjects with aesthetic techniques inspired by traditional Chinese scroll paintings, Japanese woodblock prints, and Renaissance portraiture. By experimenting with different styles and art-historical genres, Jean depicts detailed cosmological worlds that focus on both individual and universal experiences. Layered with imagery drawn from contemporary culture and age-old allegories, he imagines a collective realm of mythological proportions. After a groundbreaking collaboration with Prada for their fabled Spring/Summer 2008 collection, Jean returns for Prada's Resort and Spring/Summer 2018 collection. Jean also worked closely with Guillermo del Toro on the poster for the Oscar-winning film, The Shape of Water.
