"transFORMed", solo exhibit, Gallery of Congregation B'nai Jeshurun, 1025 South Orange Avenue, Short Hills, NJ

                                      “TransFORMed”

 

“It really doesn’t matter who I used to be.  All that matters is what I have become.”

 

Sparked by the encounter of found objects, Julie Levine re-purposes everything from discarded car parts and broken musical instruments, to unwanted old cell phones and toilet seats in creating her artwork.  Her mixed media pieces are more like wall sculptures, as she combines acrylic paints and oils to the surfaces of each form in numerous dimensions.  Playing with texture in layers, shadows of color and patterns, each composition is transFORMed from trash to treasure.  The works are fun, not only for the artist - but for the viewer...as you try to identify the objects used in each transformation.

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in art education from the Hartford Art School and University of Hartford, Julie has become recognized in the international art world.  Having had her work featured in galleries from Paris, France to Washington, DC, as well as projected on a building’s façade in Times Square (2014) – her form of recycling is a credit to the art world. Julie has had her work exhibited in numerous juried shows throughout the United States. Several award winning pieces have been featured in New York City galleries such as Soho20 and the Ceres Gallery, where she continues to exhibit her work.  With accolades for her work, from the publication world, in 2013, Julie received an award from “The Professional Artists Magazine.”

Her works are in the collections of prominent art collectors as well as in the permanent collections of institutions such as Overlook Hospital (Summit, NJ) and the Katonah Museum of Art (Katonah, NY).

A special note from the artist:

Never forget your capacity to overcome, to endure, and to literally become transFORMed from all that comes your way in life.

Gallery Hours Wed. & Thurs.: 2-7pm. Fri. & Sat.: 1-4pm, and by appointment

Opening Reception -

Thursday, September 26, 7-9 PM

The timely and timeless pulse of music is rooted in the polyrhythms and syncopation of the heartbeat, but it is the use of improvisation, experimentation, blue notes and swung notes that fuels Jazz with its distinctive sound and intriguing permutations.  The exhibition of Jazz Stories strives to explore the cultural connectedness and influence of Jazz music.....
