Walkthrough of James' sketch books
First seen tumbling through flowers and clouds in an epic 2019 painting, the Descendent has become a prominent motif in James Jean’s explorations of time, space and fantasy. Falling forever, yet somehow serene, the figure represents ‘caught in between' feelings of all kinds – up and down, east and west, dream and reality.

Based on an original painting from 2008, Maze centres on a moment of quiet reflection. Jean took inspiration from Edgar Degas' paintings and sculptures of ballet dancers. James adds his own narrative layer as the character is translated to print and sculpture.

Languishing in the basin of a boy’s open head, a young girl emerges from the vessel of his mind. She is an embodiment of memory, symbiosis and connection. “The injury is highlighted as a part of one's history, a trauma and scar that is turned into something beautiful - a feature, rather than a defect.”
