Julian Kimmings is a Yorkshire born artist now residing in Chester, England.
Julian's influences include not just a misspent childhood consumed by sci-fi, comic books, cartoons and graffiti but more recently ancient myth and folklore.
Often conceived in varying combinations of aerosol, acrylic paints, ink, graphite and/or emulsion on various surfaces including canvas, wood, walls and board his images combine abstract portraiture and hints of graphic pattern to produce pieces in his distinctive style, implying a measure of illustrative prose.
His unique, often graphic style has captured the attention and imagination of collectors across the globe including Hong Kong, The United States and various European countries. Julian can often be seen painting live at events like, among others, Upfest in Bristol.
Julian also maintains a weblog, tweets, and listens to music.
