About Julee Latimer

Painting usually involves applying wet medium to canvas where it dries and where it remains. My paintings behave in a less expected way. I am fascinated by the idea that paint can have a life of its own. As such, I paint onto substrates that allow for the subsequent removal of the paint when dry. This enables exploration with placement of the individual fragments and allows the painting to evolve like a puzzle. I was born in the UK settling in Australia in 2005 after spending the previous 17 years moving internationally multiple times. My life has been a patchwork of cultures and this plays out in my desire to fragment my work. My artworks are held in private collections in Australia, the UK, the USA, Sweden, Italy and Canada. I have exhibited in New York, Italy and Sweden as well as in Melbourne, and I have been a finalist in a number of Art Prizes. My work features in various publications including my own book 'Sculptural Secrets for Mosaic' (Schiffer Publishing, USA, 2017).
