Julia Jo

b. 1991, Seoul, South Korea. Julia Jo is a Brooklyn-based artist who focuses her practice on compositions in oil paint, which she applies in both precise and heavy brushstrokes. Her approach to each canvas allows her compositions to embrace both the figurative and the abstract. While at first glance Jo’s paintings possess a frenetic energy, upon closer inspection, discernible imagery emerges hinting at multi-layered narratives, interpersonal dynamics, and missed connections.
