Julien Marinetti (born 1967) is a French painter, sculptor and visual artist. He is the creator of "Doggy John" series of sculptures.
Julien Marinetti was born on 19 January 1967, in Paris. [1] He spent his childhood in the neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, next to the School of Fine Arts, which he attended a few years later. [2] He also worked at the workshops of artists Paul Belmondo and Edmond Heuzé, in the same area. [3]
Later, he studied the nude at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière [4] and developed a great interest in the academic drawing.
In 1997, a meeting with the painter Jean Dewasne became a turning point for Marinetti. [5] He discovered the constructive abstraction concepts and antisculptures. Not only the represented object is important but the additional treatment on it (such as paintings).[ clarification needed ]. [6]
His first exhibitions in the 1990s (Salon des Independants, Salon de la Jeune Peinture etc.) were focused on the reinterpretation of the major issues of religious painting - Crucifixion, Transfiguration, Adam and Eve in different styles; classicism, realism, figuration libre. [7]
In 2004, he returned to sculpture and invented "Doggy John", a bronze bulldog on which he applies a pictorial treatment, mixing painting and sculpture. He developed a syncretism of art where the sculpture is not a figurative object by itself but becomes the support of a pictorial work. In 2007, his work "Doggy John-Obama" was presented at the Grand Palais. Since then, his sculptures have been exhibited in several countries and galleries worldwide. [7] [8]
In 2009 and 2010, while exploring the relationship between painting and sculpture, he created other models - "Skull" (a human skull), Kwak (a duck) and Popy (a teddy bear). [9] His stay in Asia in 2011 led him to imagine the Bâ family of pandas, which are found in the cities of Singapore and Chengdu. [10]
In July 2021, an exhibition took place in Strasbourg, France.
Julien Marinetti is known for his syncretic approach that treats the bronze object as a three-dimensional painting, expressing a figurative art. Drawn then sculpted in clay each model, he uses bronze as his primary material. The lacquer enhances colors of his sculptures. [11] [12] Doggy John the bulldog, Kwak the duck, Popy the teddy bear, and Bâ the panda feature in several of his works.
Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from a single viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century. The term is broadly used in association with a wide variety of art produced in Paris or near Paris (Puteaux) during the 1910s and throughout the 1920s.

Futurism was an artistic and social movement that originated in Italy, and to a lesser extent in other countries, in the early 20th century. It emphasized dynamism, speed, technology, youth, violence, and objects such as the car, the airplane, and the industrial city. Its key figures included the Italians Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Fortunato Depero, Gino Severini, Giacomo Balla, and Luigi Russolo. Italian Futurism glorified modernity and according to its doctrine, aimed to liberate Italy from the weight of its past. Important Futurist works included Marinetti's 1909 Manifesto of Futurism, Boccioni's 1913 sculpture Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, Balla's 1913–1914 painting Abstract Speed + Sound, and Russolo's The Art of Noises (1913).
Umberto Boccioni was an influential Italian painter and sculptor. He helped shape the revolutionary aesthetic of the Futurism movement as one of its principal figures. Despite his short life, his approach to the dynamism of form and the deconstruction of solid mass guided artists long after his death. His works are held by many public art museums, and in 1988 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City organized a major retrospective of 100 pieces.
Figurative art, sometimes written as figurativism, describes artwork that is clearly derived from real object sources and so is, by definition, representational. The term is often in contrast to abstract art:
Since the arrival of abstract art the term figurative has been used to refer to any form of modern art that retains strong references to the real world.
