The Washington Post - In the Galleries: At Three Venues, Modernist Art That Looks to the Past

Written By JULIE WOLFE
“One major subset of modernist art is known for clean lines, elementary forms and pristine surfaces. Everything indirect, inessential and, above all, historical has been stripped away. But there’s a charm to well-used old things, with their patinas, blemishes and hidden strata. Such aspects can be emulated, and even simulated. Three local artists — Cianne Fragione, Julie Wolfe and Khanh H. Le — are doing that in various ways in current shows.”

JULIE WOLFE

Julie Wolfe is a multimedia, conceptual artist based in Washington, D.C., and New York City. Her work explores the layered relationship between external environments and interior states of perception, often drawing from archives of collected imagery, data, and found material. Through a practice that spans painting, installation, collage, and artist’s books, Wolfe constructs richly textured systems of color, form, and language that serve as poetic frameworks for navigating time, memory, and identity.
