Born in Nantes, he now works and lives in London. Directly inspired by popular culture from cartoons to video games, from his childhood and today, he offers a delicate and fanciful universe, emphasized by the \u201chandmade\u201d aspect of his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Le Nid<\/em> is home to an enormous white bird \u2013 half-stork, half-heron \u2013 who sleepily watches over the city, and its reassuring presence invites spectators to come contemplate the view. Its broad body also doubles as a bar. As if leaping out of a Jean Jullien drawing, gigantic eggshells transform into seats and tables and, on the walls, the artist\u2019s hand has immortalized the city\u2019s emblematic spots on bright posters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artist\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeanjullien.com\/\">website\u00a0<\/a>\u2013 Artist\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jean_jullien\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram\u00a0<\/a>account<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4699,"menu_order":0,"template":"","types-oeuvres":[131],"criteres":[163,70],"relations-voyage":[171],"class_list":["post-4711","oeuvre","type-oeuvre","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","types-oeuvres-contemporary-art","criteres-art-en","criteres-art","relations-voyage-2012-edition","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
