Entering Print

Julia Silvester is an Italian-born London based multi-disciplinary artist. Her fine art practice extends through painting, illustration, design and photography. Silvester's body of work locates strangeness within the ordinary and explores themes of femininity, social disruption, domesticity and the home. These concepts manifest in Silvester's painting practice through visual juxtapositions of the familiar and unfamiliar. In a disrupted form of realism, layers of oil paint illustrate psychically charged encounters between figures, birds and interior spaces. Silvester's distinctive approach to colour, composition, design and light invites the viewer to emerge as a voyeur of stills from a film that has never been made.
