Julien Rubat’s artistic practice explores the tension between rationality and intuition, technology and nature. Originally trained in information technology, he brings a sensitivity to systems and structures into his abstract paintings, where patterns evoke biological growth, geological formations and urban landscapes.
Working with layers of paint and tissue paper, Rubat creates textured, almost topographical compositions that balance precision and spontaneity. Through his distinctive use of colour, negative space and movement, he explores the relationship between opposing elements and the search for equilibrium.
Julien Rubat will be in residence at Fondation CAB Saint-Paul-de-Vence from 21 November to 19 December 2026. The residency will conclude with an Open Studio on 19 December, inviting visitors to discover his work and artistic process.
