Julia Contacessi
"Faded Night No. 2, " Framed Abstract Painting

2022

About the Item

This abstract black and white painting by Julia Contacessi features layers of expressive brush strokes and a cool greyscale palette. Of this piece, the artist says, "The use of horizontal brushwork and a primarily black and white palette with warm gray and soft cream accents, allow the movement within this composition to shine through as hero in this abstract painting." The painting itself is 10" x 7.5", and measures 15.5" x 13" x 1" framed with mat and frame. Painted on board, it is framed in a white frame with soft white linen liner. It is wired and ready to hang, and signed by the artist on the back of the board. In 2000, Julia earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pratt Institute in New York City. Over the years, her eye for composition coupled with her love of painting, design and photography has earned Julia numerous awards in such publications as Photographer's Forum and Creativity along with inclusion into the Yale Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library Special Collections(ALSC) in New Haven, CT. Julia never strayed far from texture, paint and the mixing and layering of mediums, which are important components to Julia's work. In fact, Julia's most recent abstracts focus on deconstructing painted color palette studies through isolated images, and then rebuilding those studies with new form and composition. About her work, Julia says, "When you layer on the paint just right, so that it dances across a wash of another color, a new level of dimension is created. Combine that dimension with the exploration of color and I’ve just begun to captured something meaningful. My style is single-minded and focused on the simplicity of beauty in the moment. My goal is to drown out the noise and clutter to find a sense of calm through light. The end result is clean, fresh and modern." Based in Fairfield County, Connecticut, Julia spends most weekends tackling new projects and getting into all sorts of adventures with her little guy, Neo. She loves painting & photography, the occasional 5-mile run and feisty discussions across the family dinner table on Sunday evenings.
