A completely self-taught artist, Julian Pace's world is populated by behemoths of art history, pop culture and sports. His distinct visual perspective and skillful figuration renders the work immediately recognizable. His subjects’ imposing shoulders and reputations might dwarf the viewer, but their expressions and Pace’s careful color choices often convey a more nuanced intimacy. Whether the person Pace is focusing on is a casual acquaintance or an icon, he treats each subject with a balance of reverence and familiarity.
Julian Pace (b. 1988, Seattle, USA) lives and works in Los Angeles. Recent and upcoming solo exhibitions include De Brock, Knokke (2023), Simchowitz, Los Angeles (2021) and The Cabin, Los Angeles (2020).
