Installed near Royan, the spectacle of the seaside during the summer remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Characters, sketch with a fast gesture and without concern of the detail, devote themselves to the joys of the beach overcame by the heat. Thus was born this series entitled Overexposure, which he continues to complete.
Julien Graizely works on paper today. He explores and plays with space, time and knowledges which he masters and diverts by a lively and free gesture. From its paintings to its delicate drawings with infinite lines remains the contrast, the light and the vibration. Contrast of the lines. A graphic line, sure, empty but vibrating silhouettes outlined with graphite, superimposed moments. And then, the impulse of the gesture: the scrawl which erases, the scratch which hides or fills, this thick and powerful black line which replaces a head who think.
Julien Graizely, born in the Ardennes in 1980, furrowed much the French cities throughout his formations (art metalwork in Avignon, visual communication in Royan, Ecole Boulle in Paris after having obtained the “Prix du Travail et des Apprentis” in 2001). It is in Paris that the inspiration comes to him. He lives and works today close to La Rochelle.
