The choice of works by the artist - paintings in competition (*) - was put into competition, allowing the Jury Committee to highly appreciate the stylistics and major aesthetics of these pictorial creations.

          These were presented following a double international selection of the painter (pre-selection, then selection). The results of the Palmarès were announced on February 2, 2023, at the Salon Dali of the 4-star Mercure Hotel, in Hyères-Les-Palmiers, on the Côte d'Azur, the French Riviera.

           This announcement of the Palmarès would announce the admission of the painter, Louis Julien, to the 2023 Palmarès, as a Laureate. He thus obtained a Plaque of Honor with Universal Award of Arts and Styles - Year 2023, with Congratulations from the Jury. The artist was able to develop a particularly astonishing style, which expresses his deep sensations and feelings, producing a new vision of contemporary abstract landscaping.

 

          His painting offers a very original universe in its composition and aesthetic formulation, oscillating between the hyper-sensitivity of abstract impressionism and the powerful, sometimes violent, force of expressionist painting in abstraction. On an international pictorial level, the contemporary painter Louis Julien has achieved this osmosis, so often sought by painters, but very rarely achieved by most of them.

          For him, poetic emotion is combined with inner suffering. Louis Julien manages to push this ambivalent feeling to its climax. He thus invented on his canvases, a new evocative space with a new visual grammar which is the synthesis of impressionism and expressionism. In its immaterial narrative, his Work conveys, through his paintings, beyond the present, a larger timeless torment, which is that of the future of man and humanity.

 

          This contemporary painter has become a master of paradox, Louis Julien allegorizes in his paintings, a Dantesque beauty, both languid and painful, which captivates the viewer and takes him in an almost literal sense, through his paintings, from work to work. artwork. The Jury Committee understood these high-level characteristics, which arise out of time, in the painting of Louis Julien.

His creativity undulates, fluidifies into strange tectonics, to reinvent the History of a Present against the tide. The painter offers us to see the artifact of a confusing topicality, which is renewed, recomposed, reconnected, from canvas to canvas and over which, only a destiny of chance, beyond all control, presides.

    The innovative abstraction of Louis Julien opens a new field at the start of the 21st century.

         The artist was able to materialize and create the new concept of this symbiosis of impressionism and expressionism, long awaited since the New York School of the 1950s.

          Louis Julien, through his paintings, effectively contributes to filling the void of a polysemic, universal pictorial immensity. His painting lifts the veil on the mystery and buried evils of our new era.

 

          Through his brushes, the master now connects spectators in front of his different canvases, putting them in resonance with their collective unconscious, facing visions of a transcended reality. Louis Julien's painting is certainly the reflection of long-term work in his workshop, but also that of a true gift, which makes him feel the palpitations of the heart of the world.

This artist occupies today, without a doubt, one of the very first places in contemporary painting and current art.

          At the end of this international event-competition, the contemporary painter Louis Julien, Winner of the Palmarès, obtained the Plaque of Honor with Universal Award of Arts and Styles - Year 2023, with Congratulations from the Jury. The Éditions des musées et de la culture EDMC-Europe also extends their warmest congratulations to the talented winner.

          Julien, put into competition a selection of his paintings representative of his high-level pictorial approach. In this event, intended to be of great geographical scope, excellent artists took turns. The Jury Committee particularly noted, during the presentations of the styles, the works of the painter Louis Julien.

 

 

          An experienced artist, Louis Julien paints at the crossroads of the great styles of our time.

 

The painting of this artist convinced the Jury Committee, which awarded him the Grand Trophée du Style 2023 on July 2, 2023, following his admission to the Palmarès as a painter-Laureate. The works of Louis Julien, such as “Journal Intime” (36 x 36), year 2007, acrylic, “La Frontière du Temps” (24 x 36), year 2021, acrylic, or “The Great Battle”, (30 x 60), year 2018, acrylic, or even "All the Love in the World for Ukraine", (24 x 72), year 2022, acrylic, showed the power of his talent and his absolute mastery in his work of a pictorial stylistic grammar.

 

          For this artist, aesthetic expression on the canvas is a true painted language, an extension of his heart and his mind. Each of its touches is a piece of life. His paintings are shot through with an intense vibration, which directly reaches the viewer. Louis Julien has an astonishing capacity for emotional expression. It is translated under his brushes, in several dimensions of abstraction: evocative, symbolic, allegorical or interpretative of reality.

 

 

         Today, he is one of the very rare international artists who knows how to paint with such accuracy, at the crossroads of impressionism and expressionism, abstraction and figuration (as evidenced by the aforementioned works).

 

The artist has also managed, through his experience, to mix stylistics. By this means, he extracts and places on his canvases the feelings most buried within him. He brings to light, in his paintings, in light and contrast, the suffering of his experiences. This, by entering into a strange encounter with those of humanity. He succeeds, through the miracle of painting, in sharing with the viewer his fascinating universe, to make them aware of a common existence, which goes beyond us all.

 

 

 

Louis Julien, an international master of styles.

 

This artist creates in the field of contemporary painting, expressing a narrative, coming from the depths of his being, but just as much emerging from the immemorial strata of Art and lost civilizations. Shapes and colors in flat areas or impasto in relief, spontaneous gestures, new and grandiose visions, thus emerge, like new sources of life, on the surface of his canvases.

 

         The artist Louis Julien dominates with ease the most complex styles of abstract painting, from the impressionism of deep feelings, to a harsher, more violent expressionism. He knows how to measure the strength of the echoes of barely discernible or more apparent representations of the world. He knows the subtle nuances of the figurative, especially how to graduate them in their emergence.

 

          (Like those of the painting “La Frontière du Temps” then in the work “The Great Battle”). When he wants to, he also manages to take the viewer outside the conventional limits of reality, with a painting which then becomes abstract impressionist, with deep inner feelings (such as "Diary") or more abstract expressionist, in a heartbreaking cry that he sends resonating throughout the world, ("All the Love in the World for Ukraine").

 

          Louis Julien, proved during the 2nd World Artistic Styles Day 2023, that he possessed a true technical treasure: That of perfect mastery of contemporary art styles. He is able to express the whole range of feelings through Art and his exceptional brushes. We understand that in fact, he managed to uncover all the secrets of the mysterious language of signs and shapes, meaning and colors.

          Perhaps, one day, Louis Julien will wish to pass on his knowledge, his painting skills, to new generations and future painters? We hope so, in the interest of the evolution of Art. Because, let us say it, such talent should never disappear in the twists and turns of time. His paintings not only appeal to the eyes, but convey an experience, they are so many messages intended for the history of others, of the History of the world.

 

          To look at a painting by Louis Julien is to begin to understand humanity, to glimpse all possibilities. It is a work that makes us think about ourselves, but also questions us about everything that can be in vain, in a constantly changing world. A world in which this painter demonstrates that the essential must, above all, remain life.

 

          For his mastery of artistic styles and his contribution to the progress of international contemporary art, on July 2, 2023, the Jury Committee awarded the painter Louis Julien, winner of the Palmarès, the Grand Style Trophy of the 2nd World Artistic Styles Day 2023.
