Julia Haller: Untitled, 2020.
Mixed media on canvas, 80 x 60 cm.
German-born Julia Haller is first and foremost a painter. Her works take shape as abstract and expressionistic pieces that can be monochromes and multicolored in both changeable and continual expression. The work Untitled is a classical work by the artist where undefinable shapes have been drawn up in a black contour framing different fields of color. Haller is especially known for her artistic approach where both right and left hands draw at the same time. The result is a sort of automatic drawing that we know from the surrealists who often used the method to cultivate motives that seemingly should reflect the unconscious. The expression in Haller’s works is much more composition than motive but nevertheless, figures appear on the image surface.
Julia Haller (1978, DE) lives and works in Vienna. She graduated from Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vieanna in 2011 where she studied under Heimo Zobernig. Haller has exhibited at Galerie Meyer Kainer, A; Galerie Nagel Draxler, DE; Midway Contemporary Art, US; Svetlana Gallery, US; Galerija Vartai, LT; MUMOK, A; Kunsthalle Bern, CH; Christian Andersen, DK. Haller has received the Kardinal-König-Kunstpreis and her works are part of the collections at Belvedere, A; MUMOK; A, Kunsthaus Bregenz, A, and EVN Collection A.
