FERRARI GALLERY

“RADIATE”
Biophilia Wall Installations by Julie Maren

You are invited to the opening VIP Collectors & Friends reception at Ferrari Gallery with Colorado artist, Julie Maren on Friday, September 6th from 6-9pm! Your night will feature a VIP Check-in, Sips & Bites, a tour of the gallery, a sit-down artist talk with Julie Maren and our Creative Experience Director, Charlie White, and an opportunity to meet fellow art collectors and acquire a new piece of art for your home.

Colorado native and Boulder based artist, Julie Maren is driven by materials and experimentation, color and pattern, microscopic and macroscopic perspectives and creating depth, both dimensional and illusionary. Loose narratives are often woven throughout her works, expressed through color and her unique vocabulary of imagery and symbolism. As a biophilic artist, Julie masterfully incorporates natural materials like acorns, pyrite, pebbles, blending them with vibrant paints to create dynamic works. Through her art, Julie invites viewers to reconnect with the natural world within the context of contemporary art.

This opening reception & artist talk is Free & Open to the Public. RSVPs are required since space is limited! Guests can email [email protected] to reserve their attendance OR to book a private viewing to purchase an artwork.

About the Biophilia Collection:

I create flexible and adaptive “Biophilia” wall-sculptures/ installations out of acorn tops filled with paint and other material, mounted on brass rods. Appearing as bouncing dots of color, projected at different depths on the wall, these multi-dimensional “paintings” play with shape, color theory, microscopic and macroscopic perspectives—and transform with light and shadow.

Biophilia wall-sculptures are the result of my journey to take my paintings out of the confines of traditional square and rectangular canvases. I found paint filled acorn tops to be the perfect vehicle to transcend the omnipresent dot patterns in my paintings, indicative of space and time—and transform them into expansive, multi-dimensional murmurations of color and shadow—like coordinates on a three-dimensional grid.

We invite you to join us for this extraordinary event where you can meet the artist, Julie Maren, hear her talk about her inspiration behind the collection, mingle with other art enthusiasts, and acquire art.
