Julian T

This book accompanies the homonym art project by the artist Julian Tiscione, presented the first time on the occasion of the 52° Venice Biennial. Studio Prodesign creates a mesmeric experience, designing a tailor-made catalogue.

HIGH-EMOTIONAL IMPACT PAINTING

It’s futurist but not provocative. It provokes but causes no outrage. It’s outrageous because it turns a gesture into absolute beauty. It’s “impact”, highly emotional painting. It was conceived by Julian T., he  jumped on a zeppelin during the Venice Biennial, an early bird with respect to the project of a dummy advertising campaign devised by the Mexican artist Héctor Zamora, the Zeppelin Swam. Julian turns a challenge into possibility, like the one to sign his application to the lagoon by having a colour bowl falling from the sky.

A black patch is his expressive monogram, a graphical and calligraphic sketch. […] Julian is chasing a new way of producing art. He knows the alchemic and Zen lessons imparted by the masters of performance of the sixties, and applies them with confidence within a wide spectrum of updated linguistic possibilities. He grew up in open source civilization, which rewards visual competition with a teaser approach, where the winner is the highest formal synthesis capable of combining curiosity with emotiveness.
