Zane Fix Nude Prints

Zane Fix is an American artist born in Brooklyn, New York. The art of Zane Fix blends both the intensity and simplicity of Japanese woodblock prints with the pop sensibility of early and mid-20th century western pop and commercial art. Fix began honing his skills of draftsmanship as a child by interpreting the works of Hokusai, Sharaku and Utamaro. He attended Cooper Union School of Architecture. In 1997, he traveled to Kyoto, Japan and began on the path that led him to his current incarnation as the guru of Jap Pop Art. Original pieces are labor and time-intensive, utilizing techniques he learned as an architectural draftsman and apprentice Sumi-e painter and woodblock cutter. Fix uses a brush, pen, ink and wax pencils on various handmade rice papers. In his own words “It’s all done by hand, no computer magic, baby!” Popular works include his Gunslinging Geisha, Audrey Hepburn in Kabuki Makeup, and David Bowie as "some cat from Japan."
