Julia Chameroy

France

Born in Nice in 1991, in 33 years, the curious Julia Chameroy, alias Julink, has already scoured many corners of the planet: Canada, Ireland, Spain, Australia, Asia & South America... From these trips and these encounters, she brings back as many memories as inspirations for her pop, colorful and full of life creations. She adopts a collage technique mixed with paint jets. In November 2019, she collaborated with Animah, a multidisciplinary artist and life coach, which gave rise to her first exhibition. The works were displayed for a month at Chez Pauline, a cultural café in Nice. The following year, Julink was exhibited at Foam, a beer bar located in the same sunny city. In 2020, the pandemic pushed the artist to opt for a slightly different style. She traded her brushes for a tablet. The digital world opened up to her. The artist embarked on challenges dedicated to collagists through the Paris Collage Collective or Februllage. She never ceased to create and invent works, as amusing as they are surreal, produced using digitized or totally digitized paper magazines.


Julink's universe is vintage, mixing pinup & astronomy. The artist always tries to provoke a smile or a laugh in the people who discover her collages. The trigger was Keith Haring, one of her idols, whose following quote the artist abides by and made her own: “It has become increasingly clear to me that art is not an elitist activity reserved for the appreciation of a few, but for everyone, and that is the end toward which I will continue to work.”.

Memory

Memory is a work that emerged following the Challenge between Paris Collage Collective and Cultura, a network art theory review. The theme was memory.


The year 2022 marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of Marcel Proust and the centenary of his death. This was an opportunity for Julink to pay tribute to the writer by integrating a box of madeleines into the collage. She also added a cup of tea, a nod to the job she does in a French tea house.


This collage therefore refers to the passage: “I brought to my lips a spoonful of tea where I had left a piece of madeleine to soften. But at the very moment when the mouthful, mixed with the crumbs of the cake, touched my palate, I shuddered, attentive to the extraordinary that was happening in me. »


This digital work is made from old photographs or objects. Julink mixes colors as well as black and white. This allows the audience to interpret the word “memory” through their own memories.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
