The artist’s research begins with the marvellous simplicity of a small drop falling and crashing onto a sheet of paper, unexpectedly, in a brief instant. Julian T is fascinated by the indomitability of such a linear gesture, exaggerating it across the board and crystallising the ungovernable forever. The result is a painting that does not need to express itself through form, because it is closely linked to being and living.

Impact leaves its manifestation to chance; it is out of control. Randomness is a very fascinating element; not having control means pausing to observe what generates the unpredictable. All forms are metaphors for a state of mind that is identified through the form itself. Kandinsky speaks of the “spirituality of art”, seeing form beyond its own form. An artist must “touch the inner strings of the soul, for his task is not to dominate form, but to adapt form to content”.
