Sydney-based designer Julie Paterson is well known for her textile label Cloth, but it's a lesser known fact that Julie also creates beautiful paintings from time to time. These striking one-off artworks echo the graphic, organic style of Julie's popular textile range - they're created using layers of household paint and gouache in beautiful colours, on irregular-shaped pieces of masonite and plywood off cuts.
Julie's first solo exhibition of paintings opens in Brisbane this week at Edwina Corlette Gallery in New Farm. Entitled 'Everyday', the show takes inspiration from humble household vessels such as bottles, bowls and beakers - even a stylised jar of vegemite makes an appearance! (If you hunt through the archives of Julie's excellent blog you will see a few super cute shots of these works in progress!)
Julie explains that making time to draw and paint greatly influences her design practice - ‘I have been drawing, painting and designing things for over 20 years, and I find that the more time I spend in the studio, the more fluid my creative flow and the richer my design practice. The simple, mindful habit of drawing and painting, taking note of the small things, the everyday detail, quietly and daily is a ritual I aspire to. It makes me feel good and balanced.'
Everyday is a body of work that represents this meditative, creative process. The works spring from a simple appreciation of the shapes and forms of things that Julie uses every day - nothing more than that! All works are pictured here - such a beautiful (and well priced!) collection!
