Provenance: Neue Alte Brucke, Frankfurt
Private Collection, Los Angeles

Note: Taking equal parts influence from Renaissance painting as from contemporary gaming aesthetics, Julien Nguyen’s extraordinary skill has positioned him as one of the most exciting young painters working today. Deeply academic, Nguyen’s practice is informed by the philosophic and aesthetic predecessors in art history in addition to his immediate world, populated by his friends and colloquial contemporaries. Since Nguyen’s seminal inclusion in the 2017 Whitney Biennial, the young Los Angeles-based painter has distinguished himself with his contemporary and queer renditions of Biblical and Renaissance aesthetics legacies; in recent years, he has debuted in critically acclaimed solo exhibitions at the Swiss Institute in New York and Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati. Isolated against indefinite space, the steely skinned protagonist of Study for the Temptation of Christ stands perfectly poised, elusively embodying in his majestic pose Nguyen’s aesthetic answer to painting’s timeless quest for divine beauty.
