Jules de Balincourt: Moving Landscapes
‘It Depends on What Direction You Look In’, our 2023 collaboration with Jules de Balincourt is available from the Victoria Miro store for the occasion of his solo exhibition at the gallery.
Jules de Balincourt: Moving Landscapes opened earlier this month at Victoria Miro. The exhibition features new paintings by the Brooklyn-based artist that ‘continue his exploration of painting as an intuitive process, resulting in fantasy-like worlds in which landscapes and seascapes become sites of possibility and escape.’ (Victoria Miro)
‘Across twenty years, Jules de Balincourt has returned over and again to paint small groupings of people – often in natural settings, frequently at night – who appear to have assembled either by plan or spontaneously, coming together in common cause, or simply because humans tend to be drawn to one another.’

The hybrid edition we produced in 2022 with de Balincourt and Migrate Art, ‘It Depends on What Direction You Look In’, is available for purchase in the Victoria Miro store for the duration of the exhibition. The woodcut-silkscreen prints are one of the most exciting hybrid editions we’ve had the pleasure of working on in the studio. By combining the impressions of highly detailed, hand-carved woodblocks with the punchy colours of silkscreened gloss enamel inks, the edition benefits from the best of both mediums.
