Julien Colombier

Textile prints and Art Deco educated Julien Colombier's eye to form, color, and the observation of detail. Early hypnosis, as he calls his early creations, led to Matisse and Keith Haring, artists capable of portraying the energy of joy. The young man then discovered the power of pattern.

From the repeated, hammered, punctuated pattern, to its perpetual rhythm. On a black background, armed with pastels and chalks, Julien Colombier hones a technique that occupies space through the collision of colors, which he uses as a source of light.

"Tried and tested" by the worlds of fashion and design, his motifs soon found new surfaces to colonize. Julien Colombier thus invests books, picture rails, fabrics, and walls.

Born in 1972, Julien Colombier lives and works in Paris.
