Julien Gardair: Dis’place
A solo show at EyeLevel BQE
Always interested in exciting and engaging his viewers, Julien creates work that is in the spectator’s reach. Having shown extensively in France and the United States, Julien opens Dis’ place at EyeLevel BQE to bring his imaginative spatial installations to a Brooklyn gallery for the first time. Displaying a selection of tape drawings, sculpture, collage, and painting, Julien shows his viewers the nature of his ecstatic energy that best defines his work.
Julien Gardair is an artist who expresses himself equally well in a diverse array of mediums. Paintings come from paint coatings, rubber stamps, and layering appropriated media. The installations highlight his playfulness, where hands could be teeth, eyes could be hair, feet could be lips. Sculptures are constructed out of felt, paper, plastic, cardboard and all manner of materials. All installations are cut freehand, and no materials are ever removed so everything is useful and meaningful. Minimally flat cut plains expand in space, becoming overgrown baroque volumes. Forms grow free in drawings, and live their transformations in animations and invent absurd subjects in paintings. All Julien’s art moves back and forth, from the studio to the street and from experience to imagination. The product is a space in between, where each viewer is welcome to make his own interpretation.
