Julien Airault (1979 - )
Biography
Born in 1979, Julien Airault is a French painter and sculptor.
A self-taught artist, Julien Airault has been interested in art for more than 15 years. His first steps as an artist are devoted to watercolor, a technique that attracts him by its lightness and technical constraints. He then realizes a series of exhibitions in portrait gallery in an expressionist style with which he will have a lot of success.
Following a change in his personal life, he decides to paint his first abstract canvases and the Chinese art scene of the second half of the 20th century becomes for him an inexhaustible source of inspiration and energy.
Fascinated by post-war painting and especially by the artists of the lyrical abstraction movement, he draws his artistic influences from illustrious artists such as Zao Wou-ki and Chu Teh Chun.
Success is immediate! On his canvases, matter is the vehicle of a real emotional lift. The spectator is immersed in an universe where softness and nervousness, tranquility and chaos, dream and travel come together.
Collectors are at the rendezvous, the same ones who admire and own the works of the masters of lyrical abstraction.
En octobre 2021, la galerie Sarto est fière de sortir sa première monographie recensant sur près de 200 pages le parcours de l’artiste.
Son livre «Une abstraction atmosphérique» est disponible à la galerie sur demande.
In October 2021, the Sarto Gallery is proud to release its first monograph of the artist's career, which covers almost 200 pages.
His book "Une abstraction atmosphérique" is available at the gallery on request and on our website.
