Julien Discrit

Julien Discrit (b. 1988) lives and works in Paris, France. His work focuses on physical or biological processes through their technical capacity to generate forms. Julien questions their emergence and their representation, seeing them as the result of an experiment. Using a wide variety of techniques and materials, his work draws on geomorphology and neuroscience, all phenomena whose traces make up the artist’s work. His works can be seen as imprints that evoke a memory, collective and personal; an experience of time and of a world that is constantly metamorphosing.
He has taken part in numerous exhibitions: in 2011 “Sublime, les tremblements du monde” at Centre Pompidou-Metz, at Lyon Biennial in 2011, 2017 and 2024 and is part of several public and private collections. He’s the recipient of prizes and grants, including Fondation des artistes in 2016 and 2022, Fawu Prize and the 1% art market grant from Crédit Municipal in 2019. Julien Discrit lives and works in Paris.
