Scribe and The Bear absolutely my new favourites - James’s work is so refreshing to view. A new favourite Artist for me and hope to see his work in person ❤

Feel like I'm the only one in the comments that didn't like this. The style seems too familiar right now and the color palette seems just trendy. Don't get me wrong, they're stunning, but it feels like it's (especially the characters) lacking soul/realness. Contempory art has served it's purpose and now feels stale. This is like new disney compared to old disney. The new disney movies are good, great even at times, but they don't hold a candle to the old classics with real villians and hand drawn love and charm. Just my thoughts.. I did like the last sculpture though.

Это не живопись нету глубины цвета

his work pulls u in so tight you can’t breath and then throws you aback so intensely far that everything is felt all at once

If you know James Jean, you know he hates explaining his paintings. “I like to let the work speak for itself.” He said once. So you know this was really hard for him to go on a rant about his work 😂😂 😂

Nice! Beautiful Art

마지막에 한국어 하신건가요

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful words and descriptions to go with your Art work.. thank you for Sharing, sorry for the loss of language..

That sculpture ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love this guy ❤

The silver sculpture of the kid really is cheesy but the paintings are cool.

Beautiful works! Amazing colors, compositions and storytelling.

I remember when he just burst into the art world. God, what a time to be alive!🤩😄

I LOVE YOU OMG

🖤

now that i know you have a comics background it makes sense, i was going to say i can see there is definitely nothing pertaining to the world of academic " fine art ", the art history cannon of art. These works do indeed seem like blown up versions of little comics, i can't help try to encourage immersion into the world of fine arts education, and not be afraid of it. I grew up loving comics and drawing as a North American kid and really was completely clueless about fine art, till post secondary education, there, where i learned of the big ol' world of "art " and the world of painting proper, for lack of a better description, that exists. I think a lot of people with a more graphic art background reject the "art" world, but if you actually are immersed in the cannon of art, it eventually succeeds in opening your eyes and soul, that is if it doesn't totally offend you or disinterest you outright, but on that note, i think it might be a good conclusion of thoughts to say that fine arts at it's best can tend toward the " spiritual" in art, to borrow Kandinsky's term, whereas i think the graphic arts tradition possibly leans more towards fashion or industry : )

When he just makes art, but needs to do a presentation so he is just winging it and explaining whatever he is seeing lmao

💚

Viscously overrated coloring book artist glazes paint by numbers histhe assistants actually paint. Another monetized sketchbook scam. Razzle dazzle

His sense of color is amazing

😍

used to love james' stuff until he sold out to the nft grift 🤮 traitor

wow! i love his work, he is so inspiring.

Yonan is so good! I'm infatuated with the color and composition.

Stunning. And thank you to him for sharing process and vulnerability behind the visual concepts themselves.

I like him all over again now

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.......been a fan for years!!!...love your work!!!...

Ppl will overlook art like this but call an entire canvas of a shade a blue a “masterpiece” 🤡

👏🪷

Assuming hes gay ...

It looks more like a woman did it 😂 what's up with the kiddy like art ? Pinkish etc .. I would've questioned his method in doing that art ....

Great to see James Jean talk about his work… Too bad about that constant beeping!

Not being able to connect with certain aspects of one's culture definitely resonates with me. You can see the beautiful dedication and mastery in James' work. I've followed his art for the past 20 years and it's amazing to see how his painting style has evolved over the years.

I'll go to one of your exhibitions one day one of the few legendary illustrators/fine artists of our time

It's perfectly fine to refer to him as James Genius. I interviewed JJ way back in 2003 and he was kind enough to even provide the cover for my magazine. That was when he was still painting covers for DC Comics (primarily Fables). Was sad to see him leave comics, but I know he preferred single images over sequential storytelling. I'll never be able to afford one of his extraordinary paintings, but I do still have a production sketch he did for Chris Nolan's Batman Begins film. I paid $30 for it.

I am á hugeeeeeee fan of your stunning work❗️👏💯👌🏾❤️‍🔥 Thanks for sharing and explaining your pieces!

The GOAT !

Great art, good interview. Someone needs to get him a duolingo membership because it sounds like he really wants to learn Chinese.

So incredible 😮 and the way he closes is so funny to me 😂 "i think thats it"

I really love his interpretation of his paintings. ❤

Absolutely Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This work is incredible. I’ve never seen any work like this before. His work is worth traveling for, wow.

Absolutely inspired work. Each one tells a story. The technique and style is clean and full of beauty even when expressing something sad.

Your art is amazing. Just love your style. You don´t need all those stains, dots, grunge textures on all those big beautiful paintings. Sometimes less is more:) I am a perfectionist and it hurts when i get stains, spots on my clothing haha.

I found J Jean works somewhen in 2018, then i became fan of BTS, and in 2021 James Jean did collab with them he made seven huge paintings representing each member of the group. I am amazed with his imagination and color work. Also his layers are so complex and he uses enamel also if i am not mistaken...it is always a treat when he posts speed paint video

As someone in art school right now i just love how he has all these skills character design, storytelling, sculpture, typography with some graphic design, he way he intertwines all these skills to create some beautiful cohesive and meaningful work is amazing

I'm amazed ❤

The color palettes of James Jeans works always amaze me. Such a refined and innovative application of something so simple.

so unique. i love this style. i love it.

I am so happy to discover today this great artist with an incredible creativity, who is also a true man of culture. I feel lucky 🌱
