Work: For over 15 years, my sculptural practice has dealt mainly with the figure, most of the time using untraditional materials, from salt and sugar to industrial scraps of metal, which has led me to a reflection on the relationship between man and nature, [or] man and his environment and the forms and patterns that connect all big and small. For many of those years, I have worked with sheets of tin-plated steel, stamped out leftovers from bottlecap production. I have been modeling the tin plate into lifesize figures, enjoying how the material allowed me to transcend the surface; leading me to work with 2 important historical aspects of sculpture: the representation of the human figure and the surface. Contrary to traditional sculpture, the inside was as important as the outside and each figure contained an abstraction that almost seemed infinite; filled with physical elements of organized chaos. Made from the shiny trash of our own consumption, the figures, with their metaphorical gestures, were incarnations of the desacralization of our society; children of modernity.

Julie Tremblay is a talented Canadian-born artist who has over 10 years of experience in making sculptures mostly using non-traditional materials such as wax, chicken wire, dirt, salt etc….

Featured below is a series of metallic sculptures which she has made from sheets of recycled tin plated steel – the ones that have been used to make bottle caps.

Each sculpture is a self-supporting structure, and their construction process involves no welding, instead Julie makes use of a process called “Cold Assembly”, where layers of metal materials are connected to each other solely by twisting the little end pieces around each other. “Making one piece normally takes me about 2 weeks” says Julie.

Julie Tremblay az ember és környezete közötti fura kapcsolatot kutatja, mindezt az újrahasznosítás oldaláról megközelítve. A Québec-i születésű, jelenleg Brooklynban élő és alkotó szobrászművész különböző fémhulladékok felhasználásával készíti a légiességet csak megtévesztésként megjelenítő álkönnyed, az alapanyagokat és a mondanivalót tekintve azonban súlyos emberi alakjait.

Tremblay-nek nem kell messzire mennie az inspirációért, elég csak kinyitnia a szemét és körbenézni. A társadalmat foglalkoztató kérdések adják művei alapját, amelyekkel az emberiség modern, deszakralizált világban való létezését kutatja.

Julie Tremblay nació en 1972 en la ciudad de Quebec, Canadá. Realizó su licenciatura en Artes Plásticas en la Universidad Laval (Canadá) y pasó a obtener su maestría en Artes Plásticas en el Pratt Institute (Nueva York).

Su experiencia artística involucra la escultura, el performance y la puesta en escena. Trabaja con materiales no convencionales, incluyendo tela metálica, cera, colado de chapa industrial y con metal de desecho. Realiza una composición con sus esculturas, hace una coreografía con ellas, imprimiéndole movimiento y formando un conjunto que está en constante transformación.

Desde la década de los noventa ha participado en numerosas exposiciones individuales y colectivas en el Reino Unido, EE.UU., Canadá y Dinamarca. En los últimos años ha realizado exposiciones individuales en 571 proyectos (Nueva York), Galerie Zidoun (Luxemburgo), Galerie Lacerte Art Contemporain, (ciudad de Quebec y Montreal), Canadá. También ha expuesto en Hendershot Gallery (Nueva York), Andipa Gallery (Londres, UK), Galería de Rebecca Kormind, (Copenhague, Dinamarca), y Craig Scott Gallery, Toronto, Canadá. Su trabajo también se pueden encontrar en colecciones privadas en Canadá, Dinamarca, Suiza, Inglaterra, Alemania, Turquía y los Estados Unidos.

Actualmente vive y trabaja en Brooklyn, New York.

Testimonio

La figura humana ha sido el tema principal de mi trabajo desde finales de los noventa. Aunque era consciente del peso que tiene la historia sobre la escultura figurativa, trabajo con una variedad de materiales no convencionales, expresando el significado del ser humano hoy, en un moderno y desacralizado mundo. Gestos de la escultura y el simbolismo se convierten en metáforas de temas sociales que han estado entre líneas en mi trabajo durante los últimos 15 años, tales como la tensión entre el individuo, la sociedad y el inconsciente colectivo, sin perder de vista los temas propios de la escultura, tales como la masa, el volumen, geometría, la textura y la luz.

Desde hace algún tiempo estuve interesada en la relación entre el hombre y la naturaleza, o el hombre y su medio ambiente, principalmente a través del estudio de la geometría fractal y la teoría del caos, que se encuentran fundamentalmente en la intersección de las matemáticas y la espiritualidad.

Julie Tremblay born in Quebec City, Canada, in 1972 Julie Tremblay completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Universite Laval, Canada, and went on to obtain her Master’s of Fine Arts at the Pratt Institute, New York.

Her practice encompasses sculpture, performance and installation art. Tremblay’s work is contrived of untraditional materials, including chicken wire, wax and cast-off industrial sheet metal. Often involving movement and time, she thoughtfully choreographs her sculptures to appear in motion and constant transformation.

Since the late nineties Tremblay has participated in a number of solo and group exhibitions in the UK, US, Canada and Denmark. In the last few years she has exhibited solo at 571 Projects (NYC), Galerie Zidoun (Luxembourg), Galerie Lacerte Art Contemporain, (Québec City and Montreal), Canada. She has also exhibited at Hendershot Gallery (New York), Andipa Gallery (London, UK), Galleri Rebecca Kormind, (Copenhagen, Denmark), and Craig Scott Gallery, Toronto, Canada. Her work can also be found in private collections in Canada, Denmark, Switzerland, England, Germany,Turkey, and the United States.

She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

STATEMENT

The human figure has been the principal subject of my work since the late nineties. While being aware of the weight of figurative sculpture’s history, I make work that, through a variety of untraditional materials, speak of what it’s like to a human being today, in a modern, desacralized world. The sculpture’s gestures and imbedded symbolism become metaphors of social themes that have been underlying in my work for the last 15 years, such as the tension between individual and society and the collective unconscious, while not losing sight of sculptural themes such as mass, volume, geometry, texture and light, which become metaphors of social themes and mental states.

For some time, I have been interested in the relationship between man and nature, [or] man and his environment, mostly through the study of fractal geometry and chaos theory, which lie essentially at the intersection of mathematics and spirituality. Taking my interest between man and his environment somewhere else, here I have been inspired by the extreme nature of the manmade surroundings of my Bushwick studio, which [for me] have become some kind of nature. The works in this show address this sense of vernacular by way of the eclectic nature of the materials.
