James Jean is Releasing a new Monograph “Rebus” – Come Celebrate with us at Reed Space
Join us as we celebrate the release of Rebus, a new monograph by the artist James Jean. The book signing will be held at Reed Space, 151 Orchard St between Stanton St and Rivington St. Other books by the artist will be available for sale including Rift, XOXO, and Kindling. The event will take place on Sunday October 23rd from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. We look forward to seeing you there! Additional information can be found here. (Parsons Illustration Alumnus Sophia Chang (’10) helped to organize this event.)
Rebus showcases everything from James Jean’s eerily dreamy oil paintings to his illustration work. The new monograph is the culmination of a well thought out and fully articulated instillation. James leaves us feeling fulfilled as he showcases his creative milestones even including never before seen pages from his sketch book.

reCovered: Parsons Illustration Alumnus Garrett Pruter’s work featured in group show.
Parsons Illustration Alumnus Garrett Pruter (’10) is one of five artists featured in the international collage show “reCovered” at frosch&portmann. The opening reception is Thursday, June 30th from 6-8 p.m., and the show is up until August 21st.
Collage by Garrett Pruter
“‘reCovered’ brings together artists working with materials originally not intended for painting, gluing or cutting: Magazines, family photographs, shooting practice targets. The artists in the exhibition recombine and reinterpret their original found material and thus create a whole new imagery — a recovered picture.
The works in the show play with the disappearance and fragmentation of the human figure; heads are covered with paint, faces pasted over, whole bodies cut out.”
