“I will not be determined by my illness, yet be more creative in spite of it.” — Julie Edwards
Trying to come to grips with a debilitating diagnosis, impressionist artist Julie Edwards (1970, UK) prefers to look beyond imperfections. This solo-exhibit is dedicated to her and her work from the past 4 years.
Inspired by experiences and deeper meaning to everyday occurrences, images for a new painting will come to her. Julie’s routine is characterized by careful preparations before placing a canvas on the easel. Journaling and sketching, very much a cognitive process. But when transferring it all onto the canvas, a whole new experience transpires. Layering the paints, the work evolves. Sometimes an emotional response occurs, as Julie can lose herself in the painting. What seems only minutes were in fact hours, as she goes through her own poignant process. Tangible, at times raw, sometimes ever so soft and subtle; Julie masters and controls the translation. Yet leaving room for the viewer to be part of the conversation, adding their own experiences.
This collection of Julie’s work provides the viewer with a very personal look into the artist’s world. We trust you’ll enjoy her “Beyond Imperfections”.
