Hi-Fructose Vol. 15 cover artist James Jean will debut new works in a solo show at Tokyo's Hidari Zingaro gallery on November 7th. His latest body of work consists of mixed media drawings on paper and a large painting on copper plates. The show title, "ZUGZWANG", derives from a term used by chess specialists to describe a situation in which a player is forced to make a move to his disadvantage. It's also a term that Jean has used to describe his creative process, where the more he draws, the more he feels compelled to continue working.
