German artist Julia Lia Walters’ solo North American debut exhibition in Montreal
Glossy Side Up is a solo presentation of recent work by Berlin-based artist Julia Lia Walter. Since the beginning of her studies, Walter’s experiments with merging digital and analogue technologies have expanded the definition of traditional painting. Using light projections and acrylic paint on transparent plastic surfaces, Walter creates abstract, multi-dimensional works which explore harmony, time, and nature in complex and innovative ways. Using a unique formula of iridescent emulsion to paint on both the recto and verso of coloured Plexiglas fragments and large sheets of transparent foil, Walter destroys the logic and rules of space, pushing our understanding of the dimensionality of painting and what constitutes a canvas.
Opening reception: Saturday, May 4, 2019 from 3-5 p.m.
