He has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally. His solo exhibition in the Buffalo area have included "Insect Drawings" (2009) and "Other Orders" (2008) at the Albright-Knox Collector's Gallery, "Site Study: Scajaquada Creek" (2006) at the Burchfield Penney Arts Center and "The Stray Shopping Cart: An Illustrated System of Identification" at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center.
"'Invertebrates & Architecture' features work from Julian Montague's ongoing project, "Secondary Occupants/Collected & Observed'," said Art Gallery Director Tina Hastings. "Using a number of different mediums, Montague's work explores the relationship between animals and the built environment. At the center of the project is an unnamed fictional author/investigator who appears to be obsessed with the way that animals occupy architectural structures."
The gallery hours are 2 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 2 to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday. Both the reception and the exhibition are free and open to the public.
