Textile prints and Art Deco trained 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.
Of the repeated, hammered, punctuated motif, of 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. Jungles, clouds, waves, geometric figures, become pretexts for these contrasts and reality is distorted, on the edge of abstraction. For if he prefers them universal and ageless, his motifs are not subjects; rather, they serve as supports to create atmospheres that, at first glance, seem devoid of narration and personal projections.
However, by looking more closely - by taking the time to see and feel - the viewer will be able to perceive in the natural and fluid way in which the artist organizes the so-called chaos of nature, the aspiration to capture its infinite vibration, its disconcerting sensuality...
Julien Colombier's paintings then become the exposed faces of invisible worlds, traversed by ardent, "tropicalistic" saps... A single principle: first, provoke the impact, frontal and raw; then, make the shock wave felt, in finesse and nuances.
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
