Hand carved painting by Oregon based artist Julian Watts made of maple stained with black India ink and framed in maple wood. Currently on view at Patrick Parrish Gallery in Julian Watt's second solo exhibition with the gallery, "Homelife". In Homelife Watts explores the idea of the home and how it functions as a poetic, living landscape that we not only live in, but are a part of. Working while locked down in his remote rural Oregon studio during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, Watts delved deep into his home environment, attempting to understand it on an intimate level as well as recognizing its place within a larger natural context.

The process and materials used reflect this idea on a fundamental level: the work is made primarily from locally salvaged hardwoods from Western Oregon near Watts’s studio...
