"Men at Work" by Julie Vernon

 

I am fortunate to live in a rural location and so find constant inspiration in the fauna which surrounds me. Another source of constant inspiration is decay. Whether it's abandoned derelict farms or rusting tin cans, beauty is to be found in the shapes, textures and colours that are all around us. It is this desire to capture the beauty of wildlife within modern, man made environments that is a constant theme in my work and keeps me focused on issues relating to people living subsistence lifestyles and the wildlife which finds itself under pressure to survive.

 

............. BY THE INCREDIBLE AWARD WINNING ARTIST JULIE VERNON!!!

 

My paintings provide a vision of, and stem from, an interest in our not-so-perfect world. I find beauty in the imperfect; the worn, the scarred and the weary. I am particularly interested in those individuals who appear beset by hardship, fear or indifference. My most recent paintings deal directly with the idea of destitution, homelessness and displacement, and the chaos and solitude that it brings.

 

I am comfortable with both figurative and abstract styles, and whether I am painting human or animal my characters exist within a multi-layered environment of blurs, streaks and rivulets of oil paint, interspersed with printed text, familiar patterns and occasionally gold leaf. The way I create a painting can be tremendously chaotic at first with paint thrown and poured onto the canvas then areas scraped or sanded back.

About the Artist - Julie Vernon

 

My paintings provide a vision of, and stem from, an interest in our not-so-perfect world. I find beauty in the imperfect; the worn, the scarred and the weary. I take inspiration from the multi-layered graffiti and poster-clad walls of our city streets and the characters that inhabit them. I am particularly interested in those individuals who appear beset by hardship, fear or indifference. My most recent paintings deal directly with the idea of destitution, homelessness and displacement, and the chaos and solitude that it brings.

My animal paintings consider a different aspect of urban life, that created by man's insatiable appetite to devour our green-belt habitats and replace them with sprawling housing developments. In these paintings it is the animal, for example the fox or the owl which, having been displaced from its natural habitat, now shares our towns and cities.

I am comfortable with both figurative and abstract styles, and whether I am painting human or animal my characters exist within a multi-layered environment of blurs, streaks and rivulets of oil paint, interspersed with printed text, familiar patterns and occasionally gold leaf. The way I create a painting can be tremendously chaotic at first with paint thrown and poured onto the canvas then areas scraped or sanded back. Text is added then virtually obliterated before being added again. Only then do I focus my attention on the main subject of the painting.
