Biography
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 in Chérac close to Royan.
With “Traffic” it is an urban universe, mechanical, pressed, with contrasted colours, inhabited with vehicles launched at high speed which we discover. Sometimes, openings of natural light filter to catch a building’s corner. They come to collide with a soft violence against this disincarnated urbanity, where the cars absorbed the men in their shell, a fun deal "in exchange for some strange values of protection and superiority" according to the artist. He finds vertical perspectives, where the sky, bordered of dark urban constructions, is profiled in low-angle shot. The ascent represents an invaluable aspect of his work.
In each one of these paintings, a precise point attracts the eye and captivates it, either by the means of an irradiating light or by the colour. As if nature were involved in our dull cities and that always, the light, pre-existent to the man, would come back to us.
