About the Item

"Chelone, the nymph who didn't want to party, was condemned by Zeus to forever carry her home on her back for failing to attend his wedding. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. Transformed into a tortoise and sentenced to a lifetime of home confinement, Chelone has decorated her abode with the most decadent of details. The print is entirely produced on special metallic paper, which retains all the details of the original painting while imparting a luxurious sheen. The tortoise shell, octopus, and Chelone's hair are dimensionally enhanced, and details on the shell and water are silkscreened in diamond dust. A custom embossment of a hermit crab completes the narrative." James Jean - Chelone - Contemporary Art Screen Print Year: 2019 Class: Limited Edition Art Print Released: 02/12/19 Run: 1,103 Technique: Giclee Paper: 310gsm 100% cotton-rag paper Size: 18.5 X 20.5 Markings: Signed & Numbered Manufacturer: Pressure Printing Acquired during the online release from the artist James 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. His small-scale pieces feature single figures engaged in everyday tasks, and are focused on specific narratives and emotions. Jean’s large-scale works recall complex Hieronymus Bosch paintings and majestic Tang Dynasty landscapes. Layered with imagery drawn from both contemporary culture and age-old allegories, the artist imagines a collective realm of mythological proportions.
