About the Item

Wave is a contemporary abstract oil painting by artist Julia S. Powell. This painting is dominated by a palette of blues, encompassing everything from navy to periwinkle. Capping the wave is a mixture of white, yellow, and shades of purple. The reflections of sky in the water below the wave create a symmetry within the piece that is interrupted by the crashing of the water in the center of the painting. Julia S. Powell’s oil paintings, teeming with lively brushstrokes and mottled with vibrant color, depict scenes that can’t be found anywhere on Earth, but carry the essence of the natural world within them. Powell lives in Maine for one month every year, enveloped in New England’s rich wilderness. By contemporizing landscape painting, Powell brings the subject of nature into modern appreciation, in hopes of capturing the viewer’s attention long enough to consider what we may have to lose in the world we inhabit. Ultimately, Powell wants to create a connection between the viewer and nature that can’t be accessed through any other perspective—not even our own eyes. Through her paintings we can experience not only a representation of its beautiful features, but also the emotional experience of being surrounded by nature, lost somewhere between the sea and the sky. Julia S. Powell is based in Cambridge, MA, apart from one month of each year which she spends in Maine. Powell graduated with a BA with Distinction from Yale University. She was recently chosen as the VIP print artist for the Boston Museum of Fine Arts 2017 Summer Gala, and was featured in the July 2017 issue of Architectural Digest. Her paintings can be found in many private collections across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and South America, including the private residence of Mindy Kaling.
