Julien Parant-Marquis is a visual artist working predominantly in painting, drawing, sculpture, and experimental photography. In his paintings, Parant-Marquis creates intricate scenes that undulate between the recognizable and the abstract, with each setting vibrating between viscous interiority and grand cosmology. He often refers to these environments as “chaos landscapes,” in which vines, tendrils, tentacles, caves, leaves, fangs, and bodily orifices form momentarily and then impishly fall out of focus. Alongside his painting practice, he maintains a growing body of sculptural woodwork consisting of hand-carved objects and sinuously shaped hardwood frames.
