Exposition Julian Montague

The exhibition '' Animals & Architectures '' will be shown in summer 2013. 

it will present a new series of artworks ( books , posters, vynils ) on the artist's favorite theme : the links between animals and architectures. 

'' Galerie ToutouChic is focused on the link between art and design. My creation is also related to these themes. I explore conceptual ideas and use the language and technic of graphism to produce artworks. To my point of view, there is a strong connection between contemporary art and graphism. 

I am glad to present these creations in Metz.  I had the chance to visit the city in 2011, during a European tour. I felt at home. As in Buffalo, Metz is now receiving a new exposure in contemporary Art. I am convinced that these new artistic towns ( Buffalo to New York / Metz to Paris ) are essentials. Art has to be present everywhere. I cannot wait to show my works to French public''
