Artist
Beyond the Expected
I create sculptural wall-based artworks that reinvent the picture plane as tactile, spatial forms. Neither painting nor sculpture alone, they respond to changing light, continually revealing new depths and perspectives.
My practice is driven by experimentation. Each work evolves through an ongoing inquiry into surface, structure and spatial experience.
Through an investigative approach, I explore material possibilities. Liberated from its traditional role, paint becomes an integral part of layered sculptural compositions that invite viewers to experience painting beyond the purely visual.
Julee Latimer is a UK-born artist based in Melbourne, Australia. She established an international career as a sculptural mosaic artist and authored Sculptural Secrets for Mosaic (Schiffer Publishing, USA, 2017).
She returned to university to complete a Bachelor of Fine Art in Sculpture and Painting at Curtin University in 2019. This period of study marked a significant shift, leading to the development of her current sculptural practice.
She also holds international qualifications in Interior Design and Colour Therapeutics, disciplines that continue to inform her understanding of colour, materiality and the relationship between artwork and space.
Her work is held in private, corporate and permanent collections, including Capella Sydney, Conrad Orchard Singapore, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, Chicago.
Her work has been exhibited throughout Australia and internationally, and she has been selected as a finalist in several respected Australian art prizes.
Her practice continues to investigate the evolving relationship between painting, sculpture and material possibility, creating works that challenge conventional expectations of both medium and surface.
