Julie Mehretu Quotes

People look at film in a gallery, and if they walk out after two minutes they know they haven’t seen the whole work. But then people look at a painting for two minutes and think they’ve seen it. Certain paintings are made to be consumed fast. But some require a slowed-down time. You have to go back to them Picture Quote #1
You’re not just this person who’s from your own specific experiences, but the collective experience of what makes you who you are because of time Picture Quote #1
I’m really interested in the nondefinitive element of abstraction Picture Quote #1
The erasure itself became the action. It seemed to suggest a moment in terms of how sad or pessimistic you can feel in a political environment or a historical situation. But it felt like a really hopeful gesture in the painting Picture Quote #1
The investigation of making is illuminating towards that moment rather than the other way around, a reversal of the way that I would approach making a painting before. I think that it gets to a richer illumination of the moment, which is what I was trying to do at the beginning but going about it a little backwards Picture Quote #1
I’m not trying to spell out a story. I still think you feel the painting, and the reason you read the mark is because you also feel the mark Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to be an artist, but I didn’t really know how someone could make a life out it Picture Quote #1
That’s what I’m interested in: the space in between, the moment of imagining what is possible and yet not knowing what that is Picture Quote #1
When you’re not a mom, you can get up in the middle of the night, paint, sleep all morning... you can’t do that when you have two children! Picture Quote #1
You’re not just this person who’s from your own specific experiences, but the collective experience of what makes you who you are because of time Picture Quote #1
I don’t ever work in a way where something is an illustration of an event, but when something is occurring at the same time I see it as very informed by that Picture Quote #1
