Punctuations - Jean Jullien

 "Punctuations" combines a series of paintings that synthesize big wave surfing, turning the human element into a visual punctuation against the immense aquatic backdrop. This collection was created for Studiolo, Jean Jullien’s first European institutional solo show, held at the Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art (MIMA) in Brussels in 2023.
