Portrait of Julie Mehretu, pencil on paper by Phong Bui.
Read a fantastic article, from the Brooklyn Rails INCONVERSATION series about Highpoint Editions Artist Julie Mehretu.
Excerpt from “JULIE MEHRETU with Allie Biswas”
“On the occasion of her current exhibition at Kettle’s Yard, Julie Mehretu spoke with me about her work from the past two decades. The images she has been creating during this time, in the form of paintings and drawings, consider the world we live in today through references to cities, architectural sites, geo-political events, and histories. She shows us an urban landscape that is dynamic and chaotic; constantly in motion. Simultaneously, Mehretu’s fascination with mark-making, and her commitment to drawing as an intuitive force, is vital to how she functions as an artist and to what she makes.” - brooklynrail.org
