Julian Farade

Giovanni’s Room is pleased to present Non-fiction, Julian Farade’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles.

Julian Farade explores human emotions through dense, colorful compositions where figures seem to emerge from one another. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, he wishes to extract himself from this dichotomy to develop the possibilities offered by this zone of uncertainty and instability, the place where a figure is still a sign, a drawing a grapheme, a color a pure emotion. He thus composes a vocabulary of recurring figures - a house, a crocodile, a ladder ... - that he arranges in all his paintings and that disappear at first glance to let us read a very expressionist overall composition.

Julian Farade (born in 1986, France) lives and works in Paris and is represented by Galerie Derouillon, Paris.

His recent exhibitions include: ”Where Do Birds Go at Night?” (solo), Galerie Derouillon, Paris (2022); “Cache-cache”, Galerie Myriam Chair, Paris (2022); ‘‘The Sowers’’, Fondation Thalie, Brussels (2021); ‘‘La Forme del Colore’’, Galerie T&L, Tricase (2021); ‘‘La Charogne La Charade’’, Double Séjour, Clichy (2021); “Attention au Taureau’’, Galerie Mathilde M.Le Coz, Paris (2021); ‘‘Une plage est une Plage’’, Galerie Podgorny Robinson, Saint-Paul de Vence (2021); ‘‘Vanités’’, Galerie Laure Roynette, Paris (2020).
