Jules Atarax

Jules Atarax is a belgian painter born in 1985 in the French speaking part of the land. He works essentially on what he calls "Hallucinated portraits". After years of writing practice, he decided in 2019 to paint. This idea came to him after being confronted with an abstract painting by William Turner “Landscape with a River and a Bay in the Background” at the Louvre. Extremely touched by the force of this abstraction, He chose to dedicate the rest of my life to painting. His practice is powerful, it is situated between brut art, expressionism and naive art but it also goes towards abstraction because I like to experiment a lot. He have painted more than a hundred canvases, mainly hallucinatory portraits as well as an abstract series which he called "Overcome Darkness" and which is still in progress. His first solo exhibition "All Crazy" was very successful and give him the opportunities to send his works all over the World. For further information, click on the link https://julesatarax.com/
