James Jean’s sexplorations
I’ve only become aware of James Jean by name in the recent years, quickly learning that he is both an extremely famous and coveted illustrator and coincidentally, a SVA grad. Above is the first interpretation in a tit-for-tat collaboration where Jean eventually and slightly reluctantly cedes control over the art direction to realise a good-cause project that eventually wins two awards for best print ad at Cannes.
If anything, it’s another affirmation that shows our country’s puritanical approach to obscenity and “offensive material” is at best quaint, completely limiting the opportunities to create such beautiful and gripping public artworks.

Also, it appears that early next year, Jonathan Levine Gallery will be hosting an exhibition of Jean’s most recent paintings:
