Logroño, Spain, 1939
Professor of painting at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid. He is one of the artists of Spanish Constructivism, together with Amador, Waldo Balart, Cruz Novillo, García Asensio, who were grouped under the epigraph of the "No Group of Madrid", and who were praised and supported by the art critic and painter Juan Antonio Aguirre from the Sala Amadís.
Julián Gil's work stands out for his careful analysis of form but, above all, for his acute perception of colour, which today serves as a reference for the latest generation of abstract painters who work with a geometric infrastructure in their works: Juan Uslé, Jonathan Lasker, Alejandro Corujeira, artists of varied origins who, nevertheless, need the solid framework of geometry as a place where they can flow pictorially.
His solo exhibitions include the Voss Gallery, Dortmund, Germany (1991), Victor Martín Gallery, Madrid (1992), Sechzig Gallery, Feldkirch, Austria (1993), and Anselmo Álvarez Gallery, Madrid (1996). His work can be found, among others, in the Municipal Museum of Madrid, Banco Hipotecario Collection, Madrid, Museum of Fine Arts of Cholet, France, and Banco Español de Crédito Collection, Madrid.
