Julian Hocking

Julian Hocking is a Melbourne based artist working predominantly in print media. His distinct graphic style often incorporates the use of black ink and graphite alongside other non-traditional materials such as Rye Whiskey and Vermouth. Often self-referential, while borrowing from art history and popular culture, his work employs these varied media to explore the fundamentals of the constructed image.

He has exhibited widely, including exhibitions at Alaska Projects, Fort Delta, LON gallery, Spring 1883, George Patton Gallery and Long Division Gallery. He completed a Bachelor of Visual Art (Graphic Design) with Honours at La Trobe University (2012) and a Bachelor of Fine Art - Drawing and Print Media at Victorian College of the Arts (2015). Julian’s design practice has seen him collaborate locally and internationally with clients including; MECCA, Federation Square, The City of Darebin, Island / Universal, 4AD, Spinning Top Records, Hoddle and FLORIST N.Y.C.
