Julien DES MONSTIERS
Painting
166 x 150 cm
Julien des Monstiers graduated from Michel Alberola’s worshop at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaxu-Arts. Since then, he has exhibited at the EDF Foundation in Paris, the Bernard Boesch Museum, the Art Gallery of Créteil and more recently at the Christophe Gaillard gallery. In 2015 he received Antoine Marin First Prize. Painting with and against everything. Renewing one’s spontaneity in the pictorial scope of possibilities: classicism, expressionism, figurative, abstract, print painting, bad painting, and all-over. To Julien des Monstiers, every painting constitutes a group whose different ways of doing understand one another through an ensemble that gives them its meaning. A holistic painting, that cannot be reduced to the sum of its parts and that escapes all predetermined definition.

Born in 1983
Julien Des Monstiers studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he trained under Jean-Michel Alberola, graduating in 2008. He lives and works in Paris. He won the Prix Marin in 2015.
Julien des Monstiers pushes the boundaries between fine and applied art. He has radicalised his approach in recent years, today focusing on the concept of tautology in painting. His paintings are by nature two-dimensional, but the artist nonetheless seeks to illustrate depth, layers, textures, and folds.
