Julie Mehretu











































Julie Mehretu is an artist from Ethiopia. Using acrylic paint, ink, and pencil she has created some beautiful pieces of art. In a her pieces you can see all different types of lines, colors, and shapes. I thought it was unique how she use the layering technique. This is what someone said about her paintings and I couldnt agree more. "Her paintings present a tornado of visual incident where gridded cities become fluid and flattened, like many layers of urban graffiti". Julie's paintings reminds me of Jackson Pollock's art. The confused lines make your eyes wander all over the pieces.
