On September 3, 2021, the first solo exhibition of the talented Amsterdam-based artist Julian Stips will open in the I love Illustration Gallery at De Hallen Amsterdam. This expo will be a vibrant and colourful show of fashion illustrations and paintings, featuring a mix of his vintage favourite designers and looks from this year's menswear and couture shows. All 26 new original works will be on show and available for purchase in the gallery.
Julian Stips was only 17 years old when he went to ArtEz fashion school. There he had to draw so much that he lost the fun in it. He started traveling, returned and moved to Amsterdam.
Now he draws again especially fashion has its fascination. He combines round shapes with sleek, graphic backgrounds. His work is imaginative and surreal at the same time. He combines manual drawing (with pencil and pen) with digital collage of elements from his own paintings, watercolors and photography.
His new work
“A lot has happened since the last time I exhibited work and that is reflected in my drawings. The lockdown was an opportunity to fully focus on trying out analog techniques and further developing my style and handwriting.
Previously my color work was mainly collage and digital, now almost all the work is drawn and painted manually with ink and acrylic. Still with a lot of attention to detail and print, but the drawings feel more free and dynamic in my opinion".
“In my work there is always some queer identity to be recognized”
It has been very clear to me that there is a lot wrong with the roles that are imposed on men and women. There is a huge gray area in which I like to move and for which the world is slowly making more and more space. Fashion not only reflects this but also leads it."
The exhibition will therefore be a celebration of all the inspiration and grandeur that this difficult time has brought with it.
