Asher Grey Gallery Presents works on paper by Julie Weiman online extended showing until Feb. 5th, 2022.
Julie Weiman’s current series of drawings are abstract, and her inspiration is grounded in the landscape, specifically the Mojave Desert of Southern California. “I count the desert as my muse- the light, the mountains, the rocks, the wind, the air, the rain. And while these drawings are not renderings, I am greatly influenced by what is around me. Sometimes, making this work is like a giant puzzle- how does one shape fit into another? How does this mark work? What color is right at this moment? What does a storm feel like? How does this layering in some way relate to the world as I perceive it? And how do I keep the energy flowing so that what you, the viewer connects to, is the image but also the absolute beauty of this place?”
