Biography

Blending the style of traditional Landscape painting with abstraction, Julie Beaufils’ oil paintings capture the immense beauty of natural environments, crystallising their wonder through abstracted motifs. Rendering moments of elemental magic such as eclipses, sunsets or sunrises, each work is brought about through deep observation of a specific setting. Mountains, fauna, or horizons are translated into organic, abstract forms. Working in dreamy, muted tones, Beaufils disseminates naturally sourced ochre pigment into her other colours, imbuing the overall palette with an earthly quality. Traversing this sense of site-specificity with interest in the ephemeral, the works dip in and out of figuration and abstraction, leaning into our emotive relationship with nature. All at once deeply intimate and collectively understood, each canvas is grounded in a particular moment of time, a precise meeting between Beaufils and a beguiling habitat. Yet, through her sensitive selection of materials and concentrated shapes, each painting resonates with wider themes of empathy, interspecies connection and deep time. Existing in the space between experience and memory, her works act as archives of encounters, generously sharing this sense of awe with audiences. ...
