julian pozzi
Julian Pozzi’s works are based in part on images of naturist resorts and hotels that have been culled from internet searches. The paintings use a formal, gridded language that draws upon mosaics, drawing, and science fiction in equal measure. The hotels, resorts, and other naturist spaces are rendered in various degrees of fidelity, with an attention that wavers from faithful reproduction of salient architectural details to outright improvisation that often veers into anthropomorphization.
Originally from Texas, Julian Pozzi earned his BFA at the University of Texas at Austin and MFA at CalArts. He’s had solo shows at 1234 Gallery (LA), Jeff Bailey Gallery (NYC) and Songs For Presidents (NYC). Group shows have been at White Columns (NY) , Golinko Kordansky Gallery (LA), and Atelier Cardenas Bellanger (Paris), among other venues. His work reviewed in the New York Times and Particules Journal and he’s a recent resident at Jentel Artist Residency (WY), SIM Artist Residency (Iceland) and the Vermont Studio Center (VT).
