Julie Peter

Through sculpture, textiles, painting and prints, Julie Peter explores the absurd. Both the idiom and the choice of colors in the artworks are often seductive, executed in undulating shapes and pastel tones. But behind the softness, there often lies a certain discomfort. It’s often about small elements that change the viewer's reading of the image - an appealing shape turns out to be made of hair, a pointed shape is a thorn. In her works, she explores the Self and the Other, the sublime and the abyssal; pairs of opposites that form the basis of the human drama.

Julie Peter (b. 1985) studied at the Weissensee Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
