Julian Adon Alexander

Julian’s drawings are born from his urge to create work that associates emotional states with the cityscapes looming around him. He uses materials and makes small works that are easy to manage in his bedroom, which doubles as his studio space. Masterful draftsmanship in graphite is employed to its fullest extent resulting in rich, dynamic, letter-sized compositions. Jackets and baggy clothing meld figures into dark yet detailed backgrounds while intensive, scratchy linework mimics qualities of handwritten text, affording Julian’s drawings a journalistic aura.
