Jean Jullien's pictorial works explore places and moments in life. This time, on the occasion of his return to the gallery after more than three years, the artist shares his Tokyo experience in the neighborhood known as “Tokugawa Village,” where he prepared his Chinese and Japanese exhibitions. The “return” expresses the universal feeling of comfort experienced by those who return home to their families. However, the exhibition embraces a broader spectrum of memories, passing through Yokokawa for a surfing session, a stroll in Shibuya or Naoshima, or along the coast of Brittany.

The lively brushstrokes and synthetic forms, in contrast to the frozen image of photography, create a painting in static motion, where the sketch of reality gives the image an imperceptible dynamic and invites the viewer to complete it with their own memories. Yes, a canvas to project oneself elsewhere and feel good here.

So, for all those seeking an exotic visual escape, see you at the gallery on November 6.
