Biography & CV
Juliette Paull is a british gestural abstract artist based in Cornwall occupying a studio in the prestigious Cornubian Arts and Science Trust (CAST) in Helston. Her work has featured in numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally and is held in many important corporate and private collections .
Known for creating highly evocative compositions powered by strong yet subtle brushstrokes her work is precariously balanced between abstraction and figuration, Paulls paintings engage with both the visceral and the sublime through gesture and scale. Both vast and intimate, these are explorations into the fragility and strength of the human condition providing us with a space to contemplate the unfolding of time.
Paulls work deals with cycles; both internally and externally. Moments of growth studied from life and revisited in memory reveal themselves as she works intuitively. A painterly process of capsizing, uprooting, and unravelling is essential before each piece finds a ubiquitous balance. Arriving at a place that embodies a sense of visceral tenderness that touches on the deeply personal yet shared reality of our fleeting human existence . Titles often reference movement, musical phrases, and botanicals echoing the vital elements of nature, pace, rhythm and physical gesture. Capturing the essence of transformative energy lies at the core of her practice.
