Russell Young James Dean, From Fame + Shame For Sale

Edition

Edition of 50

This striking screen print captures James Dean in his iconic cultural moment, rendered in bold red and white. Young employs his signature diamond dust technique combined with acrylic screen printing on Somerset paper, creating a shimmering surface that evokes both vintage photography and contemporary glamour. The high-contrast palette reduces the Hollywood legend to essential visual elements, transforming a archival photograph into a powerful commentary on celebrity and American mythology. Part of Young's celebrated Fame + Shame series, this work examines the duality of stardom and its consequences. Russell Young's practice draws from Pop Art traditions while adding a distinctly modern perspective on image-making and cultural memory. His works are held in major private collections worldwide and continue to appreciate in value. At nearly four feet tall, this piece commands attention and represents an important moment in Young's exploration of twentieth-century iconography.
