For his first time-limited sculpture, James Jean sets a ghostly figure in perpetual freefall.

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.

Descendent - Lucid Dreamer is cast in frosted resin, painstakingly refined to achieve the perfect level of transparency. On a mirrored glass pedestal the sculpture becomes illusory – weightless above its own reflection.

Behind the scenes

James Jean22 collaborationsTaiwanese-American artist James Jean makes contemporary pop art that has captured the imagination of the art world and popular culture. His colossal internet following is a testament to his instantly recognisable style, which mixes a comic and manga sensibility with the detailed prowess of Renaissance painting and traditional Japanese wood carving. In his early career in the 2000s, James worked as a cover artist for the historic publisher DC Comics. During his time there, he became renowned in the industry and won numerous awards. Decades later, James is an internationally acclaimed artist famous for his painting, drawing, and digital artworks, as well as his sculptures and installations.
