IN THE WILD solo exhibition
3 of Feb 2022-28 of Feb 2022
Juli Jana’s graphic work depicts her connection with nature and the wild in
both a realistic and abstract way. For her the landscape and those that inhabit it is an
expression of the wildness and the expanse of the continent of Africa with all its emotions.
She is exhibiting 7 monotypes in black and white of lions in the wild depicting their
movement and intent. At times these are stylized in the manner Rousseau. She uses a ‘wipe
out’ method in these monotypes using the black background as the backing from which the
motif is wiped into existence.
The etchings depict the movement of open stretched landscape in an abstracted manner
giving the landscape a space to breathe and establishing a simplicity within the work
