Jealous has released two new prints by James Joyce, presenting them as fresh editions made in the gallery’s own print studio and now available through its website. The announcement, sent on 30 July 2026, highlights ‘Perseverance in the Face of Absurdity (Black Glitter Edition)’ and ‘Perseverance in the Face of Absurdity (Carborundum Edition)’, both offered at £1,000.
The gallery’s email describes the pair as “brand new releases” printed in the Jealous Print Studio. That framing places the edition within Jealous’s broader identity as both a gallery and working print studio, rather than as a one-off exhibition object. The products are also linked to the gallery’s London address at 53 Curtain Road in Shoreditch, underlining the studio context from which the editions have been issued.
The two versions differ in technique. ‘Perseverance in the Face of Absurdity (Black Glitter Edition)’ is described as a two-colour screenprint with Black Glitter on Somerset Satin paper, while ‘Perseverance in the Face of Absurdity (Carborundum Edition)’ is a one-colour screenprint with Carborundum on Somerset Satin paper. On the product page, the Carborundum edition is listed as a 2026 work with an edition of 25, signed and editioned by the artist. The page also gives the print size as 56cm x 56cm and notes cut edges.
Jealous’s online presentation shows the Black Glitter edition alongside the Carborundum version as part of the same release, with the gallery directing viewers to buy each print directly. The product listing for the Carborundum edition shows it as sold out, although the email announcement still presents the edition as a new release at the time of circulation. The Black Glitter version is identified on the newsletter and product page by its title and medium, but no edition size was visible in the source material provided.
The wording of the announcement is focused on material process and availability rather than interpretive commentary. By foregrounding screenprinting, glitter, carborundum, Somerset Satin paper and hand-signing, the release emphasizes the physical distinctions between the two editions. The gallery also notes that the prints were made in the Jealous Print Studio, aligning them with the studio’s publishing activity as much as with the gallery’s sales platform.
No exhibition dates accompany the release, and the verified material does not describe the prints as belonging to a show. Instead, the announcement functions as a new-edition notice distributed through Jealous’s newsletter and website. The gallery’s email closes with standard site and contact information, including the Shoreditch address and the gallery’s online shop, exhibitions and news sections, while the main factual details remain the title, medium, edition format and listed price of the two James Joyce prints.
