James Jean: The Procession

Limited Edition Print. Signed by James Jean. In commemoration of the opening of the David Geffen Galleries. "That idea of nonlinear movement became the foundation for The Procession. I thought of the dreamlike parade in Paprika by Satoshi Kon, a continuous torrent of images and ideas flowing through the streets. The composition developed as a stream of consciousness: characters, symbols, and fragments of history flowing together, revealing new relationships as the eye wanders. Within it are flowers and insects tied to Tongva culture, coiling strata-like forms that suggest compressed timelines, geological layers that can be played like an instrument, suggesting history as something resonant and continually reinterpreted. The form also echoes the contours of the building itself. In the corner, I’ve drawn a small reference to a Greek bell krater in LACMA’s collection, depicting Chiron marshaling the parade. The characters are also a nod to Calder’s Circus: playful, kinetic, and alive." -James Jean (Artist) - 18" x 24" - Image: 15-3/4" x 21" - Intricate foil detailing and embossing - Sculptural glass-like details and enhancements - Signed by James Jean and numbered Additional shipping may apply.
