BIOGRAPHY

Julien Boudet is a multidisciplinary artist working with various mediums, including photography, sculptures, and installations. Boudet’s practice investigates the overcrossing of consumerism, technology, culture, and media. By highlighting and recontextualizing luxury brands, his pictures put the ballast of these labels as a sign of desire – not just by celebrating the ritual of consuming—but assuming these elements as a natural part of our lives. The duality between real and fake, counterfeit and authentic, are recurring themes for the artist who began to create and incorporate materials in his work to highlight the bootleg paradox resulting from hyper-consumerism.

Bouden’s work has been included in several exhibitions at Stems Gallery, Brussels (2020); Arsenal Contemporary Art, New York (2020); Le Mur de Marais, Paris (2020); Burberry Flagship stores, Los Angeles, New York and Chicago (2018); Chapelle du Quartier Haut, Sète (2018) and MoMa, New York (2017). 

He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Parson School of Design in New York (2013).
