Julian Klincewicz

Julian Klincewicz’s imagination and body of work embraces mythology, biology, history, spirituality, magic, athletics and much more. There is modernity but also a great deal of eternity fused in his art. A constant impulse toward a greater inclusivity and generosity of vision — one that sees history running alongside the present — always somewhere at the back of his mind while producing new work. Julian’s oeuvre possesses a sort of infantile freshness and emotive freedom. Each period in response to societal change generates new kinds of art, and Julian is the new generation. Not a technologically effusive generation, rather, but a conscious, spiritual, boundless one.

We first noticed his work when he did a video for Gosha Rubchinskiy — it got us hooked to the point that we became curious about the person who had created it. Little did we know that was the same person we now call a friend. Julian’s resume may be packed with names like Kanye West, Eckhaus Latta, Moda Operandi, Acne Studios and more — but his own art is what we admire most. It is simply not about who he has worked for, it’s about the density of his allusions, the richness of his thought and the complexity of his work. His own work.
