About
An original acrylic on canvas by American contemporary conceptual artist Julian Montague from the artist's exhibition "Semi-Fictions".
The body of work included in Semi-Fictions, a new series of acrylic paintings on canvas, grew
out of a project that was on view at Anna Kaplan Contemporary in the Fall of 2017. “Fictions”
was an exhibition that centered on Montague’s conceptual faux books, posters and other
ephemera, which have been a large part of his art practice for the last several years. The show
included over 100 posters and other printed materials related to a fictional 1970s art institution
Montague has named “The Thorold Gallery.” The posters in the series depict a wide range of
artists, artwork, exhibitions, and performances and in the process of creating the imagery,
Montague worked with several different media, including painting. Montague has used the
medium of painting in the past, in his “Features” series, for example, which are acrylic paintings
on MDF and depict a selection of geological features and events that shape the physical
landscape of the earth paired with text identifying the image. The paintings included in
Semi-Fictions are pure geometric abstractions— bold, simple, compositions that no longer
reference anything in reality. Montague has taken a cue from the hard-edged painters of the
1960s, while his palette often recalls two of the pioneers of geometric abstraction, Piet Mondrian
and Kasimir Malevich. At the same time, Montague’s forms feel contemporary as ever and are
very much in line with his graphic aesthetic.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Julian Montague is known for his photography, design and installation work. This is the fourth
solo show of Montague’s at Anna Kaplan Contemporary (formerly BT&C Gallery). The first, In
Ruins, opened in June 2014 and presented work that is an extension of Montague’s vast
ongoing project entitled Secondary Occupants, which explores the relationship of insects and
animals with architecture and, ultimately, how their observed behaviors conceptually relate to
psychological, human models. In Ruins included a small installation of Montague’s faux books
that directly relate to the Secondary Occupants project. Montague has exhibited throughout the
United States, Canada, and Europe. His work has received attention from Artnews, Art in
America, Frieze, New York Magazine, The New York Times, The Toronto Star, the BBC World
Service, and many others. He is represented in the collections of The Albright-Knox Art Gallery,
The Burchfield Penney Art Center, Delaware North, The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse,
and The Norton Museum of Art as well as numerous private collections. Montague’s instagram
account (@montagueprojects), which focuses on modernist book covers, as well as the artist’s
own projects, has a following of over 49.1K.[
