Julie Mia (*1988, Offenbach/Main) always remains connected to the work, especially to the material. Many of her works are created over a period of several years. Her art is reservedly shy, sometimes even obscure. She cautiously probes encounters with her own inner self and other people; traced in the analogue world, even more so in the digital. Her paintings usually appear very delicate and watercolour-like despite the strong oil colours. The delicacy in the pictorial effect runs counter to the rough painting process, in which dried layers of paint are sanded off in order to be painted over and over again. She studied at Chelsea College of Art & Design and the Camberwell College of Arts in London as well as the Villa Arson in Nice and has been assistant to Céline, Heiner and Aeneas Bastian since 2017.

bouquet – Roberto Barbosa, Julie Mia and Miriam Schenkirz
Whether carefully arranged or wildly assembled, the motif of the bouquet and the eponymous exhibition reveal social expectations or the pursuit of aesthetic constellations. In analogy to the art of flower arranging, the works by Roberto Barbosa, Julie Mia and Miriam Schenkirz are poetic arrangements that represent a relationship to objects, to themselves or to nature, as well as a feeling that may have moved them during the process of creating them. We look forward to seeing you again.
