James Jean at Jonathan Levine in New York

Illustrator extraordinare James Jean is showing now at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York City in his first solo exhibition titled Kindling. Known primarily as a comic book artist, James has shown his remarkable ability to command all levels of artistry, showing all original large scale mixed media paintings, drawings and abstractions on canvas and paper. It is a remarkable show and some of James' strongest work to date. It is work like James' and his rich and complex narratives that gets us excited about art again in this ever-expanding visual world.

The show runs from Jan 10th through Feb 7th, 2009. We strongly suggest anyone who is in the NY area, go and check out this show!
