Artists Statement
Julia Stovell’s work features large-scale immersive paintings, combining elements of text and image. Often inspired by newspaper headlines & imagery that riff on story and take an imaginative leap behind the headline.
Julia’s style is both painterly and humorous from Anne Frank’s musings on Hollywood at he height of Nazism to William Burroughs ‘cut up’ rants on viruses.
