'Mermed' is the first chapter of an artistic odyssey which sees Jean Jullien make a stopover at the Galerie Masurel. Charged with a profound emotional dimension, his paintings’ itinerary starts out in the Bigouden region. It is these lands that the artist holds dear which take shape here through their palette of colours and their natural elements. The journey continues along the coast of the Mediterranean, through France, Italy, and Greece. The sea gradually becomes a projection screen for an imaginary world of shared forms of knowledge and mythology. As we continue on our way, we strike out towards a symbolic elsewhere.
