Chang’e 2015

"Chang’e" (2015) by James Jean (b. 1979) is a visually striking illustration that depicts the Chinese goddess of the moon. Chang’e is rendered as a ethereal figure, with flowing hair and ethereal clothing, surrounded by a dark blue moonlit background. The use of organic shapes and intricate lines gives the artwork a surreal and dreamlike quality, echoing the symbolic nature of the lunar goddess. Jean's unique style, incorporating elements of Asian art and contemporary illustration, creates a visually powerful image that is both beautiful and haunting.
