Paintings by Julian Samuel

"Dien Bien Phu #1," o/plywood, 122 x 46, Julian Samuel, 2017

The current land and seascape paintings combine near-abstraction with realistic references. The portraits, initially inspired by increasing signs of intolerance towards minorities in Québec, are also set within abstraction.  I continue similar works in Toronto.
