About the Item

Hand-painted cyanotype still life of pink flowers on indigo with custom frame Nocturnal Nature (Double Hibiscus, Rose) — painted cyanotype by Julia Whitney Barnes 2024 watercolor, gouache, India ink and cyanotype on Arches watercolor paper 12 x 9 inches / 15 x 12 inches framed The work is presented in a custom wooden frame with museum acrylic glazing Statement from the artist: 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. About the artist: Born in Newbury, VT, Julia Whitney Barnes spent two decades in Brooklyn, before moving to the Hudson Valley, where she now lives with her photographer husband and two children. Whitney Barnes received her BFA from Parsons School of Design and her MFA from Hunter College.

Her work has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, The Village Voice, Chronogram, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and Hyperallergic, among other publications. She was awarded fellowships from New York State Council on the Arts administered through Arts Mid-Hudson, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Abbey Memorial Fund for Mural Painting/National Academy of Fine Arts, and the Gowanus Public Art Initiative, among others.
