Julián Fourcade

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1977, Julian Fourcade studied plastic and visual arts since he was a child, attending different institutions and ateliers, among others the Association for the Encouragement of Fine Arts, the National University Institute of Art, and the atelier of Patricio Larrambebere. He exhibited his works in Argentina at the J.L. Borges Cultural Center and at the Parakultural Center.

He resides in Cochabamba, Bolivia, since 2014, where he continued and completed his studies in fine art at the Superior Institute for Plastic Arts Raul G. Prada. He has participated of different exhibitions in Bolivia, among them the VII Contemporary Art Biennial “Contexts", which took place in 2019 at the Simon I. Patiño Cultural Center.

Fourcade´s work rescues often overlooked aspects of historic memory through painting and installation.  He recalls objects, scenes, graphism and characters that the passage of time leaves trapped in an underlying layer in the shadows of “progress" or history. His approach is subtle, often taking as a starting point the typographies used in books and signs from past times.
