Biography edit
Early life edit
Jullien was born in Cholet.[2] He lived in Nantes and then moved to London in his twenties; he studied at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art.[2] His work has appeared in publications including Télérama, Le Nouvel Observateur, The New York Times and The Guardian, and his clients have included the Pompidou Centre, Yale University and Nike.[3]
Peace for Paris edit
In the wake of the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, Jullien created a variation of a classic peace symbol invoking the Eiffel Tower.[3][4] The image swiftly went viral through social media and news coverage of worldwide sympathies and affirmations of solidarity against terrorism.[5][6][7][8] He also published a drawing in solidarity after the Charlie Hebdo shootings in January 2015.[2]
The French embassy in Berlin used his symbol in an exterior lighting installation, accompanied by the slogan #NousSommesUnis (we are united).[9]
