A newcomer to the gallery, Julie Mai is a Canadian artist based in the mountain village of Fornalutx, Mallorca.

 

A self-taught painter, Mai’s practice has evolved over two decades of creating – from representational painting employing traditional techniques to the dynamic abstract works she produces today. Working primarily in mixed media, Mai has recently returned to the storied art of encaustic painting, a hot wax technique developed by the ancient Greeks.

 

Mai’s work is at once mindful and energetic. The nature of the medium allows her work to evolve throughout the course of the day, its translucency dancing with the changing light of the surrounding environment.

 

Mai will be joining First Contemporary at Affordable Art Fair Battersea this 15 - 19 October. Come and see us at the fair and admire Mai’s work alongside a number of established names from the gallery. We have a limited number of complimentary tickets for affordable art enthusiasts, so book yours today with code G-FIR-COMP at checkout.
