About the Item
Figurative Still Life painting of blue and gold flowers on an indigo cyanotype and geometric patterned background
"Cyanotype Painting (Gold Flora Full Circle/Day/Night), made by Hudson Valley artist, Julia Whitney Barnes in 2022
Watercolor, Gouache and Cyanotype on Cotton Arches Paper
30 x 30 inches unframed, 33 x 33 inches in a custom frame
Handmade maple frame with splined joined corners, finished in a gold lacquer on the face and natural waxed maple sides. Artwork is floated on archival museum board and glazed with UV filtering and anti-reflective Museum Glass.
Excellent condition and ready to hang as is. Comes with two hanging options (wire and French cleat)
This still life painting was made by Hudson Valley painter, Julia Whitney Barnes, in 2022. The painting is made using a camera-less cyanotype photography method; the ghostly silhouettes of arranged cut flowers, leaves and weeds are transferred to the paper, creating the foundation for what is then hand painted using gouache, watercolor, ink, and metallic paints. The silhouettes of the flowers are left behind on the paper and are then embellished with rich hues of gold watercolor and gouache. In her new series of Gold Cyanotype Paintings, a mandala formation emerges, evoking the rare and complex Shaker Gift Drawings of the mid-1800s. Whitney Barnes’ vision follows through to the final presentation with carefully constructed frames that encase these unique paintings, providing an environment for where they may exist akin to a specimen at a natural history museum
The frame is custom and designed by the artist in close collaboration with her framer. The painting is floated on archival museum board and protected with anti-reflective and UV protected museum glass.
The piece is in excellent condition and is ready to hang. There is wire installed on the back for easy hanging and there is also a French cleat system if you prefer.
More about the work:
Julia Whitney Barnes has a uniquely tender treatment of the botanicals that inform her painting. Each composition starts as a blue and white cyanotype on watercolor paper. The ghostly silhouettes of arranged cut flowers, leaves and weeds are transferred to the paper using this camera-less technique, creating the foundation for what is then hand painted using gouache, watercolor, ink, and metallic paints. The composition experiences a sublime transformation in this stage. In her new series of Gold Cyanotype Paintings, a mandala formation emerges, evoking the rare and complex Shaker Gift Drawings of the mid-1800s. Whitney Barnes’ vision follows through to the final presentation with carefully constructed frames that encase these unique paintings, providing an environment for where they may exist akin to a specimen at a natural history museum. Julia Whitney Barnes is working towards “Planting Utopia” a three part site-specific exhibition opening this summer at the Shaker Heritage Site and the Albany International Airport. The show will be accompanied by a book to be released in August.
Artist Statement:
"In this series, I approach each growing thing with equal importance regardless of whether it is a weed, rare species, wildflower, or cultivated flower. Most works have several species fused into one composition, often to the point where the exact plants depicted are open to interpretation. Each composition starts as a blue and white print onto watercolor paper and then I work in watercolor, gouache, and ink. Even the works that appear all blue and white are usually augmented with brushed on media. I am most interested in creating objects that feel both beautiful and mysterious. I want them to be familiar yet slightly outside of time. In the summer of 2015, I moved from Brooklyn to a hundred-year-old house in Hudson Valley, along with my husband, Sean Hemmerle. Four weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter, Magnolia. Instead of a baptism for the baby, we organized a tree planting ceremony and positioned a magnolia tree in our front yard, including the placenta as fertilizer. This small act was the beginning of my intimate connection to plants growing in our yard. After the birth of our son August in 2018, we had a similar ceremony with a dogwood tree in our back yard. Throughout the eighteen years I lived in New York City, one of the things I felt most lacking was a direct relationship with nature. After moving to Poughkeepsie, the influence of having green space of my own for the first time in my adult life started to creep into my studio process. The simple action of frequently going outside, then inside, then outside again made me think about interior/exterior in formal and metaphorical ways. It is deeply satisfying to take something that is ephemeral and represent it in a way that can live on forever."
