His cutout paintings, installations, sculptures, and works on paper are known for their adherence to strict sustainable systems. Gardair&#8217;s art frequently incorporates a blend of languages and stories, creating a diverse and multilayered visual experience.<\/p>\n<div>Julien Gardair\u2019s recent paintings reveal his innovative approach to art.\u00a0 Drawing inspiration from the Supports\/Surfaces movement in France and the Pattern\/Decoration movement in the United States, Gardair\u2019s art is a fusion of materiality and pattern, along with the structural constraints of Minimalism. These multi-faceted pieces are a synthesis of vibrant paintings and textile works and are created by employing techniques like folding, cutting, and stitching. His work challenges the viewer\u2019s perception of materiality. His sustainable approach ensures that no parts of the paintings are discarded, nodding to the global potential of restoration and upcycling.<\/div>\n<p>He holds an MFA from the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Arts de Paris Cergy and his work has been shown throughout Europe and the United States.\u00a0 Notably, he was included in La couleur toujours recommenc\u00e9e, the first exhibition of the re-vamped Mus\u00e9e Fabre in Montpellier along with Joan Mitchell, Sam Francis, Shirley Jaffe, Peter Soriano and others.\u00a0 He has had solo exhibitions at Galerie Jean Fournier, Paris, Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Art Moderne de C\u00e9ret and Bric Arts, Brooklyn.\u00a0 He was commissioned by the New York MTA Arts &amp; Design to create a permanent installation for the 18th Avenue and Kings Highway stations in Brooklyn. The Mobilier National also commissioned him to design a Savonnerie carpet on display at the Elys\u00e9e Palace.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The exhibition\u00a0\u00a0<i><a href=\"https:\/\/juliengardair.com\/\">Julien Gardair<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/melanievote.com\/\">Melanie Vote<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dfnprojects.com\/current-projects\">Concurrence<\/a>,<\/i>\u00a0offers an intimate exploration of works by both artists,\u00a0who beyond their individual artistic pursuits, share a bond as a married couple.
