From Now On, Abstract Painting

2020

Artist Comments
In a continuing exploration of artist Julie Weaverling's love of blue, she started this painting with experimentation and developed the modernist abstraction through many layers of work. "The result is a thoughtful piece full of history and a bit of mystery," says Julie. "A twilight urban scene? A glimpse outward from town to water?"

About the Artist
Julie Weaverling’s abstract paintings are organic yet deliberate. She approaches her work with a well-developed idea, then begins applying paint. Julie experiments with transparent and opaque layers that metaphorically represent the human condition. She focuses on the idea of compartmentalizing: humans separate their work from their secrets, their friends from their traumas, creating many layers to the self. “What is hidden is sometimes more revealing than what is seen,” Julie says. Through the scraping and layering of color, the artist asks the viewer to consider what lies underneath.
