Julien Tomasello
Death of the Emperor (July 15th, 1997) : mixed media collage

2023

About the Item

Contemporary mixed media artwork by Julien Tomasello. Julien Tomasello is a multi-disciplinary artist who typically works in collage, sculpture, and video. The Secrets of Summer is an ongoing series of collage-on-panel works. Each work possesses a narrative of “autobiographical fiction”. These narratives blend events, dreams, and desires the artist experienced as an LGBTQ+ young person, during the 1980’s and 1990’s, with threads of fictions influenced through the books, music, films, television, and art Tomasello absorbed during this time. Escapism was a panacea to the isolation and fear he felt during his youth. The world around him seemed steeped in conformity, homophobia, and later, darkness as AIDS began its ravage of the LGBTQ+ community he hoped to become part and made the expression of love seem toxic. He studied art at Parsons School of Design, New York, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the University of the Arts, Philadelphia. Past exhibition venues include STRUT SF, Denise Bibro Fine Art, The Royal Society of American Art, de Young Museum, and Susquehanna Museum of Art among others.

We Are The Earth
By Elsa Marie Keefe
Located in Brooklyn, NY
We are the Earth is comprised of a photograph, acrylic paint, found objects in nature (bones, leaves, flowers, stones, crystals) and resin. The base materials for the work consist of a wooden paneled canvas that provides the platform for the adhesion of a rolled photographic canvas, a fine art photography print. The canvas print, in this case a double exposure digital photograph, is adhered to the wood using a clear acrylic varnish. Acrylic Paint is added along with the objects that I found in nature, which are all placed in a careful and meticulous fashion, finally cemented in resin. This specific piece of art was my first large scale piece of its kind, created in my studio in Brooklyn in 2019. This piece was inspired by the colors of my travels, the deserts, trees, mountains and sunsets. The human depicted is myself, it is a self-portrait captured in Great Sand Dunes...
