7 Artworks From Artnet’s Gallery Network That Our Experts Are Loving This Week.
Pleased to have my painting, Split Infinity, selected for this feature in Artnet this week. So exciting to have one of my paintings selected. Thank you Artnet!
Split Infinity is geometric and hard-edged, but also contains free-flowing areas where rivulets of paint cascade down the surface of the painting. The canvas is a divided field of blue and green, using soft similar tones as a ground for geometric shapes.

'Art, Life and Everything' by Julie Umerle
A memoir, it is said, represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation. The writing of this book was a labour of love and a huge task to accomplish as a debut author. Many times I felt lost, but it was a huge achievement to see it finally published, nonetheless. Nine years in the making!
This is the story of my life as a painter in London and New York.
'Art, Life and Everything' is available to purchase online through a number of selected bookshops including amazon.co.uk, Waterstones and Foyles. Priced at £11.99 (paperback).

Octagon (red) 2018 Acrylic on canvas 45 x 45 cm Copyright: Julie Umerle |
Octagon (red) is part of a series of small scale paintings by Julie Umerle of abstract solid shapes. These are strong works, confident and self assured. The artist isolates a geometric form within the confines of the space, tightly positioned within the square of the canvas. The paintings are minimalist and hard-edged, using bold colour to maximum effect.

Review of 'Art, Life and Everything' by Malcolm Stow
Art, Life and Everything
Julie Umerle's long awaited memoir follows a lifetime of art, life and just about everything. Born in Connecticut, USA to a Polish-American father and a mother from the East End of London, she moved to Walthamstow in England with her mother at the age of five, whilst her father remained in Connecticut.
Julie Umerle's long awaited memoir follows a lifetime of art, life and just about everything. Born in Connecticut, USA to a Polish-American father and a mother from the East End of London, she moved to Walthamstow in England with her mother at the age of five, whilst her father remained in Connecticut.
She went on to study French Literature at the University of Sussex, and art at the respected Falmouth School of Art in Cornwall, then to New York for her subsequent Masters at Parsons School of Art.
Typically following her own path in art, she uses both strong and subtle colour and line, whilst some of her recent paintings are more organic (as raindrops or microscopic organisms). Her book contains not enough examples of her artwork (her memoir ends in 2010), but the 38 colour plates that accompany her story describe her thinking in visual form.
This is a memoir that succeeds in allowing us to see the artist through her personal stories that are intriguing and interesting in themselves: her life, her art, and everything she puts into these public works. Highly recommended as appealing to artists, biographists, and story tellers for posterity. And this reader at least, would look forward to a book of more of Umerle's artwork.

I have donated the above two original artworks to Art on a Postcard's charity postcard auction, curated by Beth Greenacre, that includes work by a number of celebrated female artists, including the Guerilla Girls, Harmony Hammond, Caroline Coon and Sarah Morris for International Women's Day 2020. Proceeds will be donated to The Hepatis C Trust to help them in their campaign to eliminate hepatitis C in the UK by 2025.
A list of outstanding women in the arts has been carefully chosen from those whose work has transformed stereotypes and made a significant impact on society and culture.
There will be an online auction at Paddle8.com from 27 February - 11 March. Bidding starts at £50.
The works can be viewed at The Allbright Mayfair, 24 - 26 Maddox Street, London W1S 1PP on 2nd March 2020.
