JULIE OPPERMANN
2012-10-01Julie Oppermann’s recent series of paintings explore the contemporary idea of interference in relation to how information is disseminated, transmitted, and ultimately perceived, using painted moiré patterns created by overlapping multiple layers of nearly identical line patterns. Drawing from her background in Neuroscience, interest in perception and cognition, and study in Color Theory, her brightly colored, scintillating paintings recall the psychedelic, while maintaining a strong conceptual rigor. Oppermann’s systematic and rule-based process is matched by her impulsive and intuitive approach, resulting in uncanny, often unsettling decisions that set up compelling tensions within the work. The exhibition will present works ranging from very large paintings on canvas to medium sized works on aluminum and monoprints on paper highlighting Oppermann’s investigation of materials within her particular process.
