Julián Escardó
Bio
Julián Escardó is an artist and photographer. He was born in Canada and spent part of his youth in Argentina.
He created his first photographic series, Winter Scenes, in 1982, captivated by the snow and the intense winters of Toronto. However, it was in 2006 that he consolidated the aesthetic that defines his current work: a visual investigation of urban architecture and its sculptural dimension.
Between 2012 and 2014, he lived in Paris, where he held his first solo exhibition at Le Select Montparnasse. He later returned to Los Angeles and continued exploring contemporary American architecture as the central focus of his artistic production.
Since then, his work has been acquired by private collectors in Germany, Belize, France, Italy, the United States, and Argentina.
Among his most notable exhibitions are: The Art Gallery “After” (Buenos Aires, 2026), Central Park (Buenos Aires, 2025), The Art Gallery “B&N” (Buenos Aires, 2025), Solo exhibition at Hotel Sofitel Recoleta (Buenos Aires, 2025), Abra Cultural (Buenos Aires, 2025), Filo/Galería (Buenos Aires, 2024), Imaginario Galería (Buenos Aires, 2024), AreaTec (Buenos Aires, 2023), Le Select (Paris, 2014), El Sur (Paris, 2013), NanoFest Galería Arte x Arte (Buenos Aires, 2012), Spring Art Center (Los Angeles, 2011) and Complesso Monumentale San Giovanni (Cantanzaro, 2009).
Statement
“In architecture, I seek that visual language of form, color, and line. My goal is to capture essential and pure elements to create a composition that can exist independently of the real world and its visual references. My viewer participates in this process with their own imagination, and that is the connection I seek. In that dialogue, in that tension, I offer you something you may have seen many times before, but certainly not in this way.
My forms suggest that you pause for a moment; that you step outside the general and into something specific. And that from there, you see it as you wish. I propose that together we break the link with the purely utilitarian and delve into the essential, habitual, and familiar elements. In general, if we remove what is superfluous, we can always see beyond."
“The world is not a right angle.” Zaha Hadid
