Julian Cardinal & Vivian Carbonell
Our first PLACE Preview experience features the work of painter Julian Cardinal whose stylish paintings evoke classic, alluring subjects. We have paired his work with the furniture of Carbonell Design, whose aesthetic of clean lines and less-is-more approach offers the perfect compliment to the vogue sensibilities of Julian’s work. Because these paintings remind us that fashion is timeless, we borrow iconic and seminal shoes from the museum quality collection of Luis Valenzuela, himself a fashion designer and artist. The art and design featured in this first iteration of PLACE Preview are available for acquisition by clicking the Inquire button.

Julian Cardinal draws inspiration from vintage subject matter, especially early 20th century French fashion, an aesthetic component that crosses over into his real life as well. He says, “I was inspired by the many 20th Century fashion books I had, finding myself attracted to the curved and sharp lines in the dress. My goal is to combine the vintage style of fashion with contemporary Expressionism."
