ART 21 Response - Julie Mehretu
SFMOMA installation by Julie Mehretu Julie Mehretu - Layered - Political https://wsimag.com/art/41099-julie-mehretu - Gesture: Both canvases are covered in black gestural lines that create almost a cloud. - Movement: The jagged and seemingly random lines in this composition provide a strong sense of movement. Each individual line has movement and all together they seem charged as if they're about to move together in a swarm. https://whitney.org/exhibitions/julie-mehretu - Space/Depth: The sharp graphic lines in this composition create a sense of space and depth in the piece. They seem to curve and push back into the picture plane. - Contrast: The large bold shapes in color and the smaller organic lines in black create a sense of contrast. They are in direct opposition to each other and yet they flow together to create this piece beautifully.
