"I transform dried paint into intricate, three-dimensional, tactile compositions that blur the lines between painting and sculpture"

BIOGRAPHY
UK-born artist Julee Latimer is known for her innovative approach to painting and sculpture. Initially acclaimed for her sculptural mosaic art, she transitioned from the physically demanding process after experiencing repetitive strain. This shift led to the publication of her book, Sculptural Secrets for Mosaic (Schiffer Publishing, 2017), closing that chapter of her career.

Latimer earned a BFA in Sculpture and Painting from Curtin University (Perth, 2019). Her frequent international relocations have shaped her distinctive technique, where she deconstructs and reinvents dried paint to echo the ever-changing pulse of social connections.

Based in Melbourne, she creates dynamic, textural works that challenge traditional painting. By pouring paint onto plastic surfaces and peeling it away, she treats the medium as a solid material, blending elements of textiles with three-dimensional form. Each piece is crafted through extensive cutting and assembly, resulting in intricate, tactile compositions.

Recognized as a finalist in several prestigious art prizes, Latimer’s work is featured in private and public collections worldwide. Her practice continues to push the boundaries of contemporary painting, inviting dialogue on materiality, process, and the medium’s evolving definition.
