About
Why this artist matters now
Julien Nguyen paints meticulously rendered figurative works that fuse Renaissance compositional conventions with science fiction and gaming iconography. The resulting paintings occupy an unsettled space between Old Master technique and speculative imagery, rendered with a precision that treats both art-historical and digital source material with equal seriousness. His work is held in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, where he also participated in the 2017 Biennial.
