Julien Playoust
Overview
Julien Playoust by Riste Andrievski
Born Sydney, Australia
Lives & Works, Manly (Eora) and Orange (Wiradjuri)
After a lifelong passion and commitment to painting and art, over the last two decades Playoust has established a permanent Sydney studio. Complementing time spent in the bush, his work focuses primarily on plein air and narrative studio drawing and painting, exploring themes of landscape and labour and our common human experience.
Playoust completed degrees in architecture and business in 1991 and 1996 and in recent years has attended several courses at the National Art School, Sydney. He works from preliminary sketches, photographs, memory and montages, his practice stemming from a life-long discipline of drawing from life, reading, and researching the masters.
His book, Investigating Landscape, a collection of works from 2019-2024, was published by the Beagle Press in 2024.
