Julie North


JULIE NORTH works in oils and acrylics, recently breaking out into printmaking as part of her studies. 

She is interested in the urban environment and paints from photographs that she takes of neglected areas around the city of London.  Her work is an interpretation of these images and environments which surround humanity, fenced in and on the periphery of its vision.  Wastelands where life and nature are left unchecked and encapsulated within the lines of metal fences sporting barbed wire, uncared for, but still beautiful amidst the detritus discarded by humanity.  People are warned to keep out and to “not cross the line”, keep away from the dangerous power lines that carry essential energy to all our homes.
