About Julien Isoré
Julien Isoré is a French painter and visual artist, born in 1977. He has been living and working in Vincennes since 2023. After training in law, specializing in sculpture at the Fine Arts School in Lisbon, and gaining experience in the sociology of the imaginary, he embarked on an international career that blends art, law, biology, and sociology. As a painter, Julien develops a "painting of the invisible" inspired by Pierre Soulages, seeking to represent a figurative image of a landscape becoming invisible through contrasts of shadow and light. Beyond our relationship to reality, he questions our capitalist value scales and creates total works that combine concepts and performances, exploring themes of the immaterial and the non-human.
With his advertising campaign project for love ( artforlove.fr. ) and his research project on forest art, "Alan Tod, the Forest Artist" (alantod.com), Julien Isoré has exhibited his works in Europe, the United States, Mexico, China, and India.
Today, as the inventor of the "Ready-wild" concept, which transforms wild spaces into works of art to protect them, Julien is pursuing a Master’s degree in art at La Sorbonne to refine this activist and innovative artistic technique. He has chosen Mexico to carry out his Master’s project, focusing on the Tehuan Ranch Valley.
