Jules de Balincourt

Jules de Balincourt
French, b. 1972
BIO
Jules de Balincourt mixes traditional oil painting with stenciling, masking, spray-painting, and other “low” techniques in his depictions of fantastical, psychologically charged landscapes. With a style that incorporates elements of Pop, folk, abstract, and figurative art, de Balincourt makes dreamlike tableaux that often situate faceless figures in lush landscapes and cityscapes. Lone cowboys are a frequent motif, and de Balincourt has also made portraits. Throughout his early works, he considered power structures, technology, and the construction of identity through mass media and mythology. De Balincourt has exhibited in New York, Paris, London, Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Berlin, and Tokyo. His work has sold for six figures at auction and belongs in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Collezione Maramotti in Italy.
