Julia Adelgren

Sweden

b.1990

Julia Adelgren’s paintings are an address to the sensual, characterised by a prismatic palette-gothic purples and saccharine pinks - and a distinct use of world-building, blending the fantastical and idealistic with a quiet, earthy solipsism. Adelgren’s use of landscape is suggestively allegorical, drawn intuitively to the mythic and the ideal. Children explore sublime viewscapes and mountainous coves; trees glow magically, butterflies twinkle, shadows sparkle.
Though each work has its own distinct tableau, like chapters in a fairytale compendium, or postcards from a paradisaic destination, the same world-building thrums throughout. The works span corners of a world familiar, but unknown: sunsets rippling over pearlescent water; the sky through gnarled woods; a riverbank, heady and red. Here, the works take on a strange tense, feeling heavy with the memory of places that never existed, simulacral.
