About James Jean
James Jean (b. 1979, Taipei) is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose works explore the intersection of imagination and reality through intricately layered, narrative-driven compositions. His expressionistic approach to mark-making merges figuration and abstraction, balancing technical precision with painterly spontaneity. Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, animation, and design, Jean creates expansive visual worlds that fuse mythology, literature, nature, history, and personal experience.
Drawing upon a wide range of influences, from Baroque painting to Japanese woodblock prints, Chinese scroll painting, comics, and contemporary cinema, Jean has developed a distinctive visual language characterized by dreamlike imagery, metamorphic forms, and psychological depth.
In addition to his fine art practice, Jean has created acclaimed collaborations across fashion, film, music, and publishing, producing imagery for global brands and award-winning films while maintaining a singular artistic vision that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Major museum exhibitions include Eternal Journey at the Lotte Museum of Art, Seoul (2019); Eternal Spiral at the Modern Art Museum, Shanghai (2022); and Eternal Spiral IV at Today Art Museum, Beijing (2024), a large-scale retrospective spanning more than two decades of work and encompassing painting, sculpture, installation, animation. His work is held in the permanent collections of Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among other institutions.
Jean lives and works in Los Angeles.
