Julien Marinetti
Julien Marinetti is a painter, sculptor and engraver.
Born in Paris in 1967, he grew up in the Saint-Germain-Des-Prés district, where art and crafts were flourishing. He studied drawing and sculpture at the Ateliers de la Grande Chaumière, then moved on to the studios of Edmond Heuzé
and Paul Belmondo, as well as the Louvre galleries.
An obstinate creator, he constantly seeks to explore new forms and techniques in order to open up his work to a new dimension. After years devoted to oil and acrylic painting, Julien Marinetti tried his hand at sculpture. His pictorial work took a new turn.
The artist exhibited his first realistic bronze sculpture, the iconic bulldog “Doggy John”. Emancipating himself, sculpture became the preferred medium for his own painting: from this fusion, he created what he calls “Art Syncretism”.
The painter has always pointed out that the traditional canvas (due to its composition) is not a two-dimensional medium, but a three-dimensional one. A close look at his NeoCubist-inspired works reveals compositions inspired by the Great Masters of the early 20th century: Kasimir Malevich, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Henri Matisse and Fernand Leger.
