About the artist:

Jule Korneffel’s abstract style of inscriptive mark making follows a minimalist sensibility. Yet by allowing the underpainting to remain visible, the paintings reveal a process of re-duction and layering that act as a filtering of experiences. Through what she refers to as "floating through its creation", Korneffel's practice involves viewing the picture plane as a lived experience in which she is able to arrive at precise forms and colors. Her primary focus is the nature and application of color for which she is constantly developing her own technique. The multiple layering and matte surfaces derive from her European Academia background, particularly inspired by Italian Renaissance painters, while the intuitive and open-layered approach relates to a more American painting tradition drawn from internal dialogue.
