Julian St Clair

I was born in 1952. Originally from London I've lived in St.Ives, Cornwall UK for over 30 years.
I began painting in the 1970s and have been
exhibiting since the 80's, I studied briefly at the Hammersmith school of art in London.
I've always been fascinated by the Golden Age of popular culture & some of the imagery that finds it's way into my paintings comes from this period. I find the distance of time brings about a poetry that greatly appeals to me and which I would describe as nostalgia without sentimentality.

In 2015 I had a solo three year traveling exhibition of twelve of my paintings that took place in venues in three countries, Belgium, France and Germany.
I've had several solo exhibitions in London and Cornwall and many mixed exhibitions in the UK and mainland Europe and have work in several permanent collections including the Copelouzos Art Museum in Athens.
