“A painting must escape its zeitgeist and its temporality.”

Opening on Thursday September 12, 5-9pm
When art transcends time, it challenges us to rethink our understanding of both time and history. The work of painter Julien des Monstiers embodies this striking dialogue between past and present. In his first exhibition in Belgium, he asks a fundamental question: what if our linear perception of time is nothing more than a comforting illusion?
Julien des Monstiers (born 1983, Limoges) has been represented by Galerie Christophe Gaillard since 2016. After four solo exhibitions in the gallery’s Paris location, he now takes over the Brussels gallery. This monographic exhibition is a true manifesto for painting a discipline he reinvents with his unique technique, where the brush never directly touches the canvas.
