Sylvia Ji – New Print Releases
Four new prints by Sylvia Ji have been released by Fine Grime Ltd. Her gorgeously creepy paintings of women resembling Marie Antoinete in Dia de los Muertos face paint have been in increasingly high demand since 2005 when she graduated from the Academy of Art University of San Francisco. She had her first solo show while in her last year at the University and graduated with a Bachelors in Illustration. Most of her shows happen to be on the West coast and I am waiting with baited breath for her to come back to NYC and do a solo. Perhaps at Jonathan Levine? We’ll see. In the meantime, head over to Fine Grime’s website and check out her newest releases.
