Julie Gross

Julie Gross
Since 1998, Julie Gross has been using compasses to choreograph a network of circular forms in her artwork. As forms expand and contract, interconnect and vie for dominance, her drawings serve as an extension of her person, setting up a dance that pulsates across the surface. Circles remain or morph into other shapes until an overall web of ‘bubble slices’ exists.

In Julie’s paintings, these forms serve as vessels for color. Color decisions begin intuitively, and build. Julie Gross balances her knowledge of color, allowing it to declare itself, yet keeping surprise in the equation.

The painted surface is precise and uninflected, allowing spatial interaction to be revealed simply and clearly, establishing a balance between surface tension and movement. Julie is compelled by the discrete relationships that emerge from the interplay of color and form, in a tense field where subject and ground alternate. Julie feels as if her images are suspended, yet connected by slices of light, breathing, tense and emergent.
