Jean Jullien creates a postcard vision of summer on the French coast.

La Grière depicts a beach landscape dotted with bikini-clad bodies, buckets and sandals. A fascination with observation is at the core of Jullien’s work, using art to create a visual commentary on the everyday. Simplicity is his philosophy and his practice. Trips to the Western coast of France inspire the print’s title and contents, where Jullien will often sketch from life on the beach. In a setting where everything is on show, Jullien’s featureless figures remain anonymous.

Available for 24 hours only, the edition of signed prints recreates an original painting from Jullien’s first European institutional exhibition – STUDIOLO at MIMA Museum, Brussels. Worldwide shipping is free.

Jean Jullien1 collaborationJean Jullien wants to tell you something. For him, illustration is the simplest method of communication – “with drawing, there’s no need for translation from one language to another.” Simplicity is both his philosophy and his practice. Jullien works with a single paint brush to create his thick black line drawings which are then digitally filled with bold block colour. The illustrations have been translated into sculpture, posters, magazine covers and more. They comment on everyday life with the unpretentious, playful ease of the cartoons he grew up watching.
