Julie Mehretu Art

American, b. 1970
On her large-scale canvases and murals, Julie Mehretu layers, erases, and relayers ink, pencil, and acrylic paint (sometimes sprayed or screen-printed) in a manner that conjures the dynamism of the Futurists, the scale and physicality of Abstract Expressionism, and the divergent mark-making of Albrecht Dürer, Eastern calligraphy, and graffiti. Mehretu uses her eclectic mix of styles to explore the history and politics of the urban environment; her source material has included architectural plans, city maps, and photographs, which she has transposed onto her massive canvases via projection. Mehretu graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and has received the MacArthur Fellowship, the American Art Award granted by the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the U.S. Department of State Medal of Arts. She’s been the subject of solo shows at the Guggenheim Museum, the Walker Art Center, and the Whitney, among other institutions, and has been featured in international showcases including the 2019 Venice Biennale, Documenta 13 (2012), and the 2004 Whitney Biennial. At auction, Mehretu’s work regularly sells for seven-figure prices.

Abstract India Edition 3/5 Linocut Print Green Blue Turquoise Architectural

By Mukesh Sharma

Located in Norfolk, GB

There is a natural and raw understanding in Mukesh Sharma’s prints that both depict, and are influenced by, the Rajastani communities of his home town in rural India. In these Limited Edition fine-art prints, made over a period of twenty years, we are offered the colours of India’s ancient land, the textures, light and the patterns that are everywhere. In the patterns of the arable fields to the jali's (carved screens) in the architecture. This work is however not romantic nor nostalgic but shows a deeper rooted need to offer a visual heritage of place, of where the artist is from and the journey that he is taking. The results are both compelling and honest. Mukesh Sharma, Celebration B, Lino-cut on Drawing paper Edition: 3 of 5, 2005 Image size: 47 x 39 cm / Sheet size: 79 x 55 cm Unframed Mukesh Sharma's work: It is often in childhood that paths are set for what we will become. Mukesh Sharma hails from a rural, agricultural village in Rajasthan, India. His Father is a craftsman who fixed and mended farm machinery and understood the working parts in the processes. Sharma followed in his Father’s footsteps, as is often the case in Indian families, but his was not the machines of the fields but the presses of the printing studio. Like his Father, Mukesh Sharma is fascinated with understanding how things work and how he can manipulate the metal in his hands. It is not surprising then that his medium of choice is printing. One of the most physically challenging of all the practices, it can often be physically challenging as well as technical and detailed. In his youth, Sharma would draw with stones on walls and floors. He was lucky his family encouraged this and he is grateful for his early art-training at the Jaipur School of Art but it was at the Baroda Art Department that he was introduced to the great printing traditions of Jyoti Bhatt...
