"From the streets of New York City, to homes in the Hamptons, from offices in Paris, to restaurants in Tokyo and London, Zane Fix of Jap Pop Art is riding the tsunami of Hokusai’s ever-present 'wave'…"
Zane Fix, the Artist behind Jap Pop Art, has been a fixture on the Art Scene in New York for several years. His unique blend of Eastern Style and technique, with Western sensibility can be seen on the streets as Fashion-Wear, and on the walls of homes and businesses all over the world. As a child, Zane was thoroughly intrigued with the Japanese Uniyoe wood block prints of Hokusai, Sharaku, and Utamaro. His father encouraged him to hone his innate skills as a draftsman by making copies of the works of these masters. After a two year tenure at New York City’s Cooper Union, School of Architecture, Zane left the world of visual arts to pursue a career in the music industry.
His career started on the Bowery at the lengendary CBGB’s, and took him on a journey as a fretboard sideman all over the world for entertainers such as Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Ronnie Spector.
Having made a name for himself with a solo recording contract and a TV Show on Fox, Zane Fix walked away from the industry and headed for Kyoto,Japan, to immerse himself in his first love as a child; the visual arts of feudal Japan. After nearly three years, he returned to New York with the vision of showcasing his work as a New Age Master of Woodblock prints, with his own special twist. Conjuring up the spirits of 17th and 18th Century Geisha, Kabuki Actors and Samurai, and blending them with his own 20th Century Rock Star, high fashion energy, he began creating a collection of images that shout to people of all walks of life from all over the world!
