Statement
“Nocturnal Pollinators” consists of various painted images carefully described by a warm light source. The natural imagery is filled with animals, shells, and flowers. Most of the exhibited work is done in oil paint, on stretched linen. I am most excited about a painting when translucent passages, careful gestural marks, and drawing structure meet harmoniously. I prioritize light, movement, and mark making to guide the compositions.
The narratives in my work are informed by personal mythologies around attraction and temptation; described through moisture, temperature, pollination, predation, and light. Themes of promise in the form of blooms and moisture, versus the threat of dryness. The metaphors are informed by current climate anxieties, personal experiences, as well as historical mythological narratives that remain important.
In “Red Fruiting, the Fall of Adam and Eve”, I am thinking of ‘Promise’ in the central orb. The orb depicts a detail from a rubens painting of Adam and Eve, which shows the moment of falling from grace, though the passing of the apple. Surrounding this vision; a green-less and dried floral nest.
I think of looking at a painting like eating, and the act of painting like hunger. I want in some way for the things I depict, and I ask the paintings to speak to beauty as well as the psychology around desire.

Biography
|
Julia Gould (b. 1999) is an American artist living and working in Baltimore Maryland. Julia holds a Bachelor of Fine Art degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she majored in Painting, and minored in Printmaking (2022).
She is concerned with the nature of the body, and how it holds within it representations of love, duality, and mythology. Her work discusses corporeal experiences, with the goal of investigating their metaphysical implications. Color and light describe semi-wild environments in ways that reveal a dark psychology around desire. At the core, her work delves into the simultaneous feelings of intimacy and separation, which inhabit intrapersonal relationships and our relationship to the natural world. Julia’s work has been exhibited and awarded by organizations such as the YoungArts Foundation in Miami, the Baltimore Museum of Art, Andrew Reed Gallery in Tribeca, T & Y Projects in Tokyo, and the National Society for Arts and Letters in Washington DC. In addition she has lectured in the Baltimore area along with exhibiting in solo and invitational, juried exhibitions. |
