About

Julie Maurin is an artist that re-uses objects to arrive at newly ambiguous forms or artifacts that could be found in a far future. Her practice is material-led and often includes plants or preserved animals combined with plastic, a material that is very representative of our times. Her work, by being as fragile as we all are and thus subjected to decay, challenges capitalistic tendencies to categorize, commodify and ultimately control works of art.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork

Three sculptural paintings representing three different phases in life, 'Caught in a Trap' explores the battlefield - where we fight to survive in a world indifferent to our survival to 'La Notte' that explores heaven or that place of contentment we can finally call home after having been through 'Duel with You / You'll Surrender' that explores the strong will to live.
