        Artist Statement

        Julie Umerle is an East London based artist. She studied fine art at Parsons School of Design in New York City and at Falmouth University, Cornwall.

        Umerle paints in series that are consistently open-ended exploring similarity, repetition and difference within each group of work. Her practice is an investigation of materials and perception of  the image, exploring the materiality of paint and the processes of abstract painting. She has received a number of awards from Arts Council England.

        Exhibitions include: 'Five Needle, Five Wire', Thamesside Gallery, London;  'Recent Paintings', Bermondsey Project Space, London (2021) - solo show; W1 Curates, Oxford Street, London (2021);  'A Book about Death', Islip Art Museum, New York (2020);  'Made in Britain', National Museum of Poland , Gdansk (2019);  'Future Now', Aesthetica Art Prize, York Art Gallery, York (2019);  'Another World' curated by Tracey Emin,, Deutsche Bank Lounge, Frieze London (2018);  'Beyond The Surface', Marylebone Parish Church, London (2018);  'Contemporary Masters from Britain', Yantai Art Museum, China (2017);  'Creekside Open' selected by Alison Wilding, APT Gallery, London (2017);  'Rewind', Art Bermondsey Project Space, London (2016) - solo show;  Scope Art Show, Miami, Florida (2016);  'Contemporary British Watercolours', Maidstone Museum, Kent  (2015);  'Present Tense', Swindon Art Gallery, Wiltshire (2015); 'Contemporary British Painting', Huddersfield Art Gallery, Yorkshire (2014).

        Her memoir 'Art, Life and Everything' was published in September 2019, and is available through amazon.co.uk, Waterstones and Foyles.
