Myths of Making

Julien-G is a French painter, printmaker, illustrator, and educator currently working in New York City. He experienced an epiphany, when, walking the street and looking at a yellow mechanical digger spotted with rust, he was struck by the analogy with banana peels. That unexpected match became the cornerstone of his poetic and humorous way to address the world and his art practice. Since then, he uses apparently mismatching patterns to question both contemporary and archetypal subject matters, such as human condition, environmental, spiritual and social issues. Julien-G studied art at École Des Beaux Arts de Nantes Métropole, earning a BFA in 1998 and an MFA in 2001. He exhibits internationally and his work can be found in various private collections.
