Julie Held's great love belonged to portrait painting and Henri Matisse. Unfortunately, the Frenchman never got to know the artist and no one can say whether the affection would have been mutual. The affinity for portraiture, on the other hand, is very evident. Already during her studies at the Camberwell School of Art and the Royal Academy of Art Julie painted portraits with great passion. The artist likes to paint the dearest people around her and give them a pleasure with the work. She uses the form of design to commemorate and celebrate the personalities close to her. The artist includes herself in the people who mean a lot to her and portrays herself. During the periods of seclusion caused by the pandemic, she sought closeness with close friends and painted them. These brief periods of closeness helped painter and model through the challenging times. Julie Held devoted herself to painting landscapes in addition to portraiture. Key themes in her work are found in Judaism, imagination and reinterpretation.
Before painting a painting, Julie Held makes drawings. Drawing is central to the artist's work. She draws from observation and gathers the information she needs to work out a painting. Drawing is important for her as an artist and gives her the certainty to transfer her observation with great care and protects her from getting lost in details. Julie Held finds in drawing a basis for her work, it grounds her and occasionally she draws from her memory. A second important element in Julie Held's work is color. Life, with all its facets of strength and fragility, is reflected in the artist's choice of color. Julie Held often and gladly participates in joint exhibitions with other artists. The painter had her first solo exhibition in the city library in Leipzig. A rarity for the artist, who values artistic exchange.
Gardens, trees and plants embody elements that reflect us as human beings: Roots, diversity, mutability and connections. Gardens and nature are themes that Julie Held has approached in collaboration with a group of other women artists. The diversity of her own garden in the play of the seasons comes into focus. The artist ventures far into abstraction and her nature paintings contrast with figurative portraits and floral still lifes. Julie Held feels that approaching nature is an escape into the glory of nature, which she enjoys and would like to share.
