Many thanks to the artist Julie Beugin for her lecture Models for Transformation: Painting and Process and discussing the works of our participants within the Studio Program at BAI | Berlin Artist Residency, Art School, Arts Incubator, and Live Online Courses & Classes.
“Through major changes, the idea of making a model in order to visualize space has been a steady throughline in Julie Beugin’s painting practice. From her representational paintings of imaginary inside/outside spaces to her current abstract collage-based works, Beugin has always begun her work with models such as sculptures, drawings or collages. In this artist talk she will trace the key points of her development while discussing ideas of material transformation and creative process in painting.” (Text by courtesy of Julie Beugin)
