BIO
Julian Cargnello is an intermedia artist based in Montreal. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University in 2017, with a double major in Studio Art & Intermedia CyberArts, and a minor in Philosophy. He has showcased his work at Eastern Block, Studio B-12 and Gallery VAV, and has received media attention from publications such as The Gazette, Huffington Post, and CTV News. Two of his paintings have been acquired by the Aimia Collection. He continues to maintain two unique practices: studio painting and digital moving image (motion design), each of which inform each other's creative development.
ARTIST STATEMENT
As an artist, my practice centers on the exploration of the interplay between technology, perception, and the natural world. In my paintings, I often depict ambiguous and recognizable forms that are hidden within complex, abstract compositions. My aim is to create visual stimuli that provoke creative engagement, allowing viewers to construct their own images from the abstracted elements within the image.
