about Julian Manzelli
Buenos Aires, 1971
A graphic designer by training at the University of Buenos Aires, where he also taught for more than a decade, Chu has developed since the 1990s an artistic practice that moves between design, animation, urban intervention, and contemporary art. He was a founding member of the collective Doma (1998), a platform that became a benchmark for experimentation and artistic action in public space. Throughout his career, Chu has expanded his language from graphics and animation to mural painting, sculpture, installations, and large-scale projects. His works have transformed façades, water tanks, and urban spaces, establishing him as one of the most influential artists in the Argentine scene at the intersection of urban art, abstraction, and contemporary visual culture.
His practice focuses on space as a visual playground. He works with systems of shapes, points, networks, and connections that reflect both the complexity of biology and that of the urban environment. He is interested in how abstraction can become a shared language capable of translating invisible dynamics: links between people, the structures of the city, and the processes of memory.
