hilger contemporary: Julie Monaco _579
… the most compelling whiplash – and the strongest wing*
While Julie Monaco’s paintings were always reduced to structures, manifestations of landscapes and natural forces, fire, clouds, the sea – she now goes one step further into abstraction:
As if zooming onto a fractal, she immerses into the “elements” of her earlier works, disassembles part of her paintings to uncover digital layers and reconfigures them.
This results in “non-photorealistic renderings” as large-format, contrasting black and white, classical silver gelatine prints that suddenly reveal figurative silhouettes and “surreal” structures, reminding of Max Ernst’s frottages.
Julie Monaco reduces the natural template until only a wing attrition of transcendence remains discernible; limiting herself to computer generated production of artificial art in order to produce her personal abstract (un)reality of the poetry of the imaginary.
