Julie Mehretu



Julie Mehretu makes large-scale, gestural paintings that are built up through layers of acrylic paint on canvas overlaid with mark-making using pencil, pen, ink and thick streams of paint. Mehretu’s work conveys a layering and compression of time, space and place. As trying out marking on a larger scale with different materials and over lapping each layer I like this art work as it is done with feeling and expression which Is a personal way of creating a piece of art. I also like the composition of this particular piece and the variations of different marks and lines.
