Jimmy Tran is an emerging artist whose practice spans printmaking, painting, drawing, and artist zines. He embraces a variety of media, allowing him to experiment broadly. His painterly work tends to focus on traditional and contemporary Japanese cultural subjects. Central to his practice is a series of hand illustrated artist zines he’s meticulously developing called The Hero Man, which follows the lives of a group of Power Ranger–type crime fighters. His dynamic graphic style holds the balance between drama and banality, as day-to-day moments are rendered with equal weighting as Hero Man’s crime-fighting scenes. Tran has worked at Arts Project since 2015 and exhibited in numerous group shows. His work is held in private collections in Australia.
