Sculpting light, playing with it, to build immerise and interactive installations, defines Julien Menzel’s works. With the help of videomapping tools or led driving softwares, his creation are always trying to disturb the spectators senses, The light project are an invitation to get lost and immersed in lights and get actors of this art pieces.
Presented as paintings, these acrylic pieces, sculpted with variable color tints, reveal their real appearance as the light shines. They range from anamorphic drawings of animals to abstracts forms.
As seen by an architect, mural mapping is always a perfect mix between the history of the local site, the right topics, and a bit of the humorous Blastian style of his crew. His works have different sizes from small mural projects to 3 facades covered by 800m2 of videomapping.
As a dialog between digital and reality, like playing with senses, augmented drawing is aiming to erase the digital frontier between pigments and pixels. Giving drawing a new kind of kinectic life, Julien Menzel is mixing drawing, painting, videos sources and 3d objects with the help of tools like projectors, videomapping and led lights. From the size of a canvas to gigantic murals, this technique is giving a bit of charm to the standard art of mural mapping.
