Hi,
g = ContourPlot[Arg[Gamma[x + I*y]] == 0, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10},
   PlotPoints -> 100];
j1[x_, y_] := 2 x/(1 + x^2 + y^2)^2
j2[x_, y_] := 2 y/(1 + x^2 + y^2)^2
j3[x_, y_] := (-1 + x^2 + y^2)/(1 + x^2 + y^2)
toSphere[{x_, y_}] := {j1[x, y], j2[x, y], j3[x, y]}
and
Graphics3D[
  g[[1]] /. GraphicsComplex[pnts_, more_, ___] :>
    GraphicsComplex[toSphere /@ pnts, more]]
Regards
   Jens
