contemporaryart — Juliette Losq Artwork

I’m thrilled to have finally installed Umbraculum at Sewerby Hall.

Its layered form is inspired by the Teleorama or paper peepshow, an 18C and 19C optical device and parlour entertainment, whilst also referencing the pergola found in the gardens of @sewerbyhall - The drawn and painted imagery imagines the gardens at a future stage of ruination, with their formal, cultivated structures being reclaimed by nature. This is an Arts Council @aceagrams funded commission intended to engage visitors and introduce contemporary art to new audiences.

The house is undergoing a phased re opening according to the UK Government Roadmap - but should hopefully be fully accessible after June 21 2021. Please watch this space for updates, and in the meantime here are some images of the piece.

Many thanks to the curators and collectors who supported me in 2020. 2021 is going to be a year of installations for me (all being well) - I have three scheduled at the Cello Factory, Sewerby Hall in Yorkshire (with a solo show of wall-based works) and The Garden Museum in London . I will also be co-curating the Cello Factory show with Alex Hinks, the first time I have curated a show since leaving art school 10 years ago. The show will feature artists who reference or make maquettes and models in their practices, and features some excellent artists.

I'm still working on these shows at the moment but here are some work in progress shots - follow me on instagram: https://lnkd.in/eAZThYR
