Through a series of collages produced by Julien Langendorff from a variety of documentary sources, Spell Rider plunges us into a world of multiple references tinged with eroticism, galaxies and cinematic universes. An interstellar voyage in a masterful and devilishly creative iconography.
The Serial Pictures collection invites artists working on series of images (drawings, photographs, texts, etc.). These small artists' books will over time form a collection dedicated to contemporary exploring the book as a space for display in its own right.
Julien Langendorff (born 1982 in Paris, where he lives and works) studied at the Ecole Duperré
Paris where he began experimenting in various mediums including metal etchings and
film, while writing and playing music.
His visual work combines collage, pen and ink drawings and paper cut-outs of 1970's erotic imagery and often conjures up dark, dream-like visions influenced by gothic and hippie cultures, Black Sabbath, spiritism and diary-art. Langendorff's work is both minimal and psychedelic with a free, stream of conscious sensibility.
He has been exhibited in numerous galleries in New York, Tokyo and Europe since 2005.
Julien Langendorff also plays
music in Pillars of Fire, a doom-psychedelic band formed with artist Jason Glasser and
singer Matteah Balm, and plays and records solo under the name Skate Witches.
