As the title immediately suggests, Julie Umerle’s paintings exist at the meeting point of decision and accident (as indeed do our lives). In a new suite of paintings made specifically for the show, gravity and design collude and collide in a synthesis which calls up a most unexpected counterpart. For this exhibition,Julie Umerle received a Grant for the Arts award from Arts Council England to create new works for a solo exhibition of her paintings and to publish a catalogue to accompany the show. The catalogue includes text by artist, lecturer and critic, Simon Morley.
