PAST EXHIBITION
Julie Hedrick: Awakening
April 29, 2008—May 24, 2008

Press Release

Awakening, Julie Hedrick’s new works, are visual poems that capture the murmurs of nature, the evocation of land, water and sky. The 10 paintings included in this exhibition are lush in the translucency of their bright colors and hues. They are a departure from her previous series of interior and reflective works. The current works are more a meditation on nature.

Based on the artist’s daily contemplative walks around the Hudson River Valley, they unveil nature recalling mist, water, sky, earth, light and leaves. Hedrick captures the sacred essence of landscapes and environments particularly now struggling for survival.

These constructed polyptychs are reminiscent of the altar pieces of the Renaissance, representing the colors of the natural world imbued with a sense of the sublime. They are metaphors for the tremendous power of life and nature and a homage to existence.
