      Taiwanese-American visual artist James Jean has returned with another print edition of his high-gloss surrealist work Bouquet II.

      Hidden within the bouquet is a realm of unimaginable color and sensation. Detached from any particular time or place, the Descendent's trajectory is swayed by divine forces. Bouquet II features numerous embellishments, including a special technique that renders the pollen and splatters of paint in a unique, raised, jewel-like texture. Intricate foil details and sculpted elements bring the bouquet and Descendent to vivid life.

          The hills are alive with the sound of music, with songs they have sung for a thousand years. A visual harmony of colors, textures, and composition echoes through the valley. The ululations of man and nature interlace the senses – the eyes drink color, the sound is swallowed, and the flowers of the uncanny valley take root in the mucosa.

            Taiwanese-American visual artist James Jean has returned with a beautiful print edition, in collaboration with Guillermo del Toro's remastering of Pinnochio.

            From James Jean: “When Guillermo del Toro asked me to make the poster for this film, I was honored and excited to create something that could encapsulate the depth of feeling and labor of love that went into its production. He told me the film was inspired by his own relationship with his father. His Pinocchio is about what it means to be a good father, a bad father, and live in a world where fathers can learn to love you for who you are. At the heart of the film is the fusion, the dance of creation, between Geppetto and Pinocchio. I wanted to show Pinocchio stepping out into the world, literally leaping out of the picture frame, and Geppetto having difficulty letting go. The characters are under the protection of the Blue Fairy who looms above, wings outstretched.”
