How does he, Julian Taylor, paint again with this freshness of the gaze, this acuity always sharper to capture the soul and the charm of the landscapes of France and elsewhere? Present at Galerie 26 for more than 35 years, Julian Taylor has long had his place and a name there. Its exhibition is eagerly awaited every year, it is an unmissable event for many of you and this loyalty enchants and honors us ...

If we find the countryside and snows of Périgord and Ubaye, the roofs and facades of Paris, the trawlers, old rigs and landscapes of Brittany, Julian, British in love with unspoiled nature, painted this year the beauty unique to Scotland and its centuries-old lighthouses.

The lighthouse is one of his themes which, with good reason, has established his reputation, combining meticulousness and movement, precision of design and sharp brushstrokes.

The same is true for all the landscapes he chooses to paint: in successive stages, from the preparatory drawing to the canvas, he arrives with strength and elegance at this realism so particular, so plausible and chiseled.
