Julia Chiang Monograph

This first monograph on the artist presents her work from the late 1990s to the present.

To see a painting by Julia Chiang is to experience a connection to the vastness of the universe—from the tiniest of details in her mark marking to the impact of colors appearing like aurora borealis in the night sky. Concurrently, the bulbous sensual shapes of her ceramics transport us through their organic forms. A sense of connectivity, of the body in nature and the environment that surrounds us, has always been part of the artist’s approach and is fundamental to her work. “I’m always interested in our bodies as vessels, what we contain and what we cannot. All that comes out of us, all that is within us. The borders both real and imagined. Existing in the in-between,” says the artist.
