In 2016 I will be presenting a new 90+ minute 4K/UHD film on the run-up to this Venice exhibition – the making of the sculptures and other classic eggy capers.

NOW JULIAN SIMMONS | Top-Ten London Contemporary Art Show

by

MILKY2 MAGNIFICATION - NOW Julian Simmons - Lychee OnePaul Carey-Kent’s – CHOICES UP NOW – top-ten London contemporary art show :

‘Julian Simmons is best known for the films and photographs he has produced with – and of the work of – his partner, Sarah Lucas.

Here he asserts himself through eleven intensely detailed meditative graphite drawings of concentric circles (if that doesn’t sound terribly assertive, consider that the biggest has a diameter of ten feet).

Their resounding lineations conjure enlightenment, itinerant shadows and – given that they resemble eyes and breasts by duck-rabbit turns – a little bawdy comedy.

The tone carries through into a handsome book, in which Simmons’ musings resonate with his milking of the mystical and he does a remarkable job of photographing pancake-flat drawings to make them look three dimensionally and celestially spatial.’
