Julie Umerle’s approach to art is described by New York Art Magazine as “a new way of thinking with abstract painting”. At Rewind, ABPS presents a solo exhibition of her latest works: large-scale paintings, a series of smaller canvases and works on paper.
About
Julie Umerle’s Rewind series is characterised by unprimed canvases, emphasising the simplicity of the image. The most immediate element of the work is actually the object itself, positioned very close to the edges of the canvas. Her series, Transoxide, was developed on wet stretched paper, where coloured grounds were layered with white paint and marks of black ink. The pressure of the brush, the viscosity of the paint and the speed of application are just some of the variables that play a part in her mark-making process.
“Julie Umerle’s paintings exist at the meeting point of decision and accident, as indeed do our lives.” Mark Westall, FAD Magazine.
