Change of Plans, Abstract Painting

2020

Artist Comments
An engaging abstract with an architectural feel, built up in overlapping sections of blues, red, yellow and black. "This piece is an experimentation in layers," says artist Julie Weaverling. "With bold and quiet conversation along with mark-making, offering the viewer unlimited opportunities for seeing new things in the work over time."

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.
