Julian Harake is an artist, architect, and educator. He lives in Bozeman, Montana, where he is an Assistant Teaching Professor at Montana State University’s School of Architecture.

Julian makes inkjet prints on translucent Japanese gampi paper, each developed through a seamless process of hand drawing, flatbed scanning, digital manipulation, and artificial intelligence. The paper is dampened before printing, allowing the ink to spread in a semi-controlled way that is both precise and unpredictable. Light, space, humidity, and gravity all shape the final object as much as the ink itself. The result is a surface that hovers between presence and absence, image and material, hand and machine, control and chance.

Recent solo and group exhibitions include Julian Harake at By Appointment Only in Santa Barbara, California (2025), BASEMENT at a83 in New York City (2025), Beyond Reality at the Livingston Center for Art and Culture in Livingston, Montana (2025), and The New Salon: Arte Del Pueblo at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santa Barbara (2024). Julian has held teaching appointments at Barnard College, Princeton University, UC Berkeley, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Syracuse University, and Parsons School of Design. He received a Creatives Rebuild New York Artist Grant in 2023, and he was a resident artist at Santa Barbara’s Center for Art, Science, and Technology from 2023 through 2024. His writings have been featured in The Montecito Journal, New York Review of Architecture, LUM Art Magazine, Dispatches, and several published books.

Julian received his B.A. from UC Berkeley in 2013 and M.Arch from Princeton University in 2016, where he was awarded the Suzanne Kolarik Underwood Thesis Prize.
