Jules de Balincourt Paints Mysterious Worlds for Victoria Miro

As a huge fan of contemporary art, I am thrilled to hear about Jules de Balincourt‘s upcoming exhibition at Victoria Miro in London. De Balincourt’s work has always intrigued me with its unique blend of reality and fantasy, creating vivid and mysterious landscapes that evoke deep emotions. His intuitive painting process, which involves layering translucent paint to transition from abstraction to figurative imagery, is truly mesmerizing.


In the upcoming fall season at Victoria Miro gallery in London, Jules de Balincourt’s latest paintings will be on display, accompanied by texts penned by Bob Nickas. De Balincourt’s art does not merely depict reality but instead portrays mental states, generating surreal landscapes and seascapes intermingled with abstract shapes. His artistic method entails applying transparent paint layers progressively, moving from abstract to figurative representations. The resulting spaces teeming with constantly moving figures evoke an intriguing and enigmatic milieu, provoking contemplation and a yearning for refuge. The exhibition will present a diverse collection of large and small paintings, frequently arranged salon-style to stimulate free association.

De Balincourt has teamed up with The Skateroom for a Paris Hôtel de Crillon exhibition, creating a fresh skateboard design in anticipation of skateboarding’s inclusion in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Renowned for his vivid, socially-conscious paintings, de Balincourt’s ‘New Arrivals’ skateboard triptych showcases his California roots. Unlike Hockney’s sunny pool scenes, de Balincourt’s artwork portrays ecological disaster and societal issues, encapsulating Generation X’s more pessimistic take on the classic pool symbol.

Only available as part of an exclusive collection of 50 pieces, each skateboard comes with the artist’s personal signature. For collectors seeking a unique artistic acquisition, consider purchasing a triptych priced at $910 USD on The Skateroom’s website.
