The Daily Palette celebrates the talents of MA and MFA students as they move toward graduation!
JULIA WOLFE We Sell, Acrylic on canvas, 72" x 71", 2017
Julia J. Wolfe is an MFA candidate at the University of Iowa in Painting and Drawing and will graduate May 2018. She received her B.A. in Studio Art from Rhodes College in Memphis, TN (2013) and her Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Studio Art from Brandeis University in Waltham, MA (2014). In 2016, Wolfe was an artist-in-residence at Burren College of Art in County Clare, Ireland. She has participated in several solo and group exhibitions in Iowa City and around the U.S. In her own words:
I make installations, objects, and paintings. The paintings feel like flattened versions of the installations: animated with color, playground-esque, humorously innocent with an underlying awareness of the ways of the world. The work comments on our culture of consumption. However, by combining objects and imagery of mass-production with a childlike and whimsical aesthetic, viewers remain able to depart with a sense of optimism. Julia's website |
