Julien Deiss
Julien's œuvre is abstraction and figuration at the same time. He is best known for his delicately coloured works with incorporated figurative motifs, for example Thorvaldsen's sculptures and other classical statues and elements. The fine, often antique sculptures that he incorporates into his works are almost always missing something, for example a body part, or are joined with something that does not fit. There is a small dysfunction in the whole that undermines the pure aesthetic and makes the work vibrate with a duality, a balance between beauty and destruction, edification and aggression.
