About the Item
Amsterdam II is an intriguing early career aquatint dry-needle etch print by renowned French-Dutch artist Olivier Julia. It depicts a detail of an old Amsterdam house facade and is both abstract and realistic at the same time. The paper used is 240 grams 25x25 cm Johannot paper and has a beautiful texture to it. The work was newly framed in 2023 with black aluminum and museum glass, protecting the paper against UV. Amsterdam II is the second print of a series of ten different prints, which can be hanged individually but also make great compositions with two, three or four together.
Dutch art historian Jaap Nijstad wrote about these prints: "He made small series of etchings and lithographs in which he zoomed deep in on a subject. The result is an exceptional area of overlap in which realism and abstraction intertwine. The works are characterised by a pronounced frontality. The position of the artist is almost always perpendicular to his subject, never diagonally or from the side: the artist's angle, and thus that of the viewer, is always at ninety degrees to the subject. [...] At times the picture as a whole is recognizable, at others the fragment is framed in such a way that the subject dissolves, as it were, in an abstraction of lines, planes and infinite shades of grey. In [...] 'Amsterdam' a series of ten prints are made using various techniques, the sharpy framed details of the city provide a subtle picture of the characteristic identity of the whole."
Olivier Julia (1952, France) graduated with a BA in Graphic Art from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Until recently he held a tutoring position in graphic art at the same academy besides practicing as an independent artist. Since his retirement from the academy he works as a full-time visual artist.
Originally his work consists of sober graphic art and monumental drawings, but in more recent years he has explored the dimensional possibilities of graphic art. He creates three-dimensional objects from wood, often painted in subdued colours that are characteristic of his earlier work: differentiated shades of grey and deep blacks. The work of Olivier Julia is focussed on the subtle interaction of closed versus open, of vertical versus horizontal and of light versus dark.
His work is exhibited internationally and is part of many renowned corporate and public collections such as ING, KPN, TNT Post, Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Vaasa Museum Finland, Royal Library of Brussels, the Wilploo Collection and the MAL Collection. Furthermore his work is part of numerous private collections around the world including Europe, the USA and South America. His work was selected for the main Dutch abstract-geometric and constructivist art exhibition Symposion 2015.
