Juliet Tada is a practicing
artist in Seattle, Washington creating drawings, paintings, installation, and
mixed media works. She enjoys experimenting with chance medium, texture, and
three-dimensional components while painting on a horizontal plane. As a result,
a viewer gets to interact with a bird’s eye perspective at eye-level.
Charcoal, ink, and graphite
make up the main media for her work. She enjoys using charcoal for its ability
to be multifaceted in texture and gradient. She uses a chromatic scale, which
simulates a timeless elegance. The gesture, thickness, and structure of a line
encompass the overall expression of her artwork. Each piece of art
manifests itself through the process in which it is created.
Downward momentum - in the form
of splatter or winding pathways shaped by water droplets - becomes the starting
point for most of her creations. Allowing a material to organically move or
react to its environment causes an image of fluidity that is gentle to the
eye. Using water and wet solvents demonstrates the power an element has
over a composition. Water transforms and reshapes a medium within a piece,
echoing its effect on the earth.
Also included in her show will
be abstract renderings of the human figure. A trending beauty appears among
her female representations. The eccentric use of hair acts as a staple
characteristic within each drawing. Gold appears as an accent in her
current body of work. A touch of sparkle against a black and white contour
mimics the moon kissing the darkened sky.
