Julian Farade explores human emotions through dense, colorful compositions where figures seem to emerge from one another. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, he wishes to extract himself from this dichotomy to develop the possibilities offered by this zone of uncertainty and instability, the place where a figure is still a sign, a drawing a grapheme, a color a pure emotion. He thus composes a vocabulary of recurring figures - a house, a crocodile, a ladder ... - that he arranges in all his paintings and that disappear at first glance to let us read a very expressionist overall composition.
