French-born artist Jean Jullien (1983), a graduate of both Central Saint Martin‘s and the Royal College of Art, two of London‘s most prestigious schools, has landed an exhibition at NANZUKA gallery in Tokyo. Held at Sushi Saito Hanare NANZUKA, the collaborative venue with renowned Michelin-starred Sushi Saito restaurant in the city’s Naka Meguro district, the solo show is entitled 残り物 THE LEFTOVERS. In recent years, Jullien has expanded his practice to include canvas works and installation art, particularly sculpture pieces. His previous major shows were held at locations across the planet, including The Departure, a large-scale installation featuring his signature Paper People riding a flying carpet, presented at Tokyo‘s GINZA SIX shopping centre, the solo exhibition Then, There (2022) at Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul. the Studiolo (2023) solo exhibition at the Mima Museum in Brussels, and next week, a large-scale installation at the France Pavilion of Expo 2025 Osaka. The current 残り物 THE LEFTOVERS exhibition displays six canvases painted between 2021 and 2023, depicting subjects such as boats, trains, and quietly contemplative portraits. The works evoke lingering moments in time and subtle traces of human presence. The exhibition title refers not only to things left behind, but also to fragments of emotion that remain within the artist himself, indeed echoes of memory and feeling that speak to the overlooked moments of everyday life we all share (on through Jun 27). © superfuture

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
