ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work was created using salvaged wood from historic homes in New Orleans, La. After hurricane Katrina there was massive amounts of destructions scattered throughout the city. My family has been in New Orleans since it's founding. New Orleans has strong place in my spirit so rather than let any of it be lost in a landfill I try to create art with it. This piece includes pieces of homes of musicians and people of the lower ninth ward. It is massive and on the heavy side. weighing approximately 50lbs.

Epaul Julien Artist Statement "If you wish to get hold of the invisible, you must penetrate as deeply as possible into the visible." M. Beckmann Artist Statement Epaul Julien has been creating art for the past 20 years. He continually pushes the boundaries of photography, painting, and mixed media by intermixing and experimenting with new techniques. In his latest work, Epaul freely repurposes original photographic imagery and extant images from other sources. He draws, paints, cuts, and pastes using many materials to create a new perspective of reality. The work represents the physical world but also the metaphysical aspects of reality. The dynamic spectacles establish a sense of adventure combined with symbolism that leads to new ways of experiencing the world. The energy captured in hyperbole gives the work a fresh and critical perspective. Epaul tries to suspend the meaning of each image and let the viewer create their reality. The purpose of each piece is determined by the viewer, who, like the artist, struggles with certain fundamentals of life in hopes of eventually finding harmony and balance. Epaul believes that how the viewer interprets the piece becomes a reality for that person.
