Rencontre artistique Julien Rey

Although achromatopsic, Julien Rey takes us on a journey through his canvases of urban landscapes. Following a trip to Burma, he brought back a perfect mastery of gold leaf, a characteristic element of his work. His technique, based on knife-worked lacquer and gold leaf inlays, places light at the heart of his work. Influenced by Zen philosophy, he creates minimal compositions that appear as suspended moments, poetic pauses. His depictions of urban landscapes confront darkness and light in contrasting compositions with an impressionistic atmosphere.
