Julie Oakes

Awestruck

June 2 – July 15, 2012

Opening Reception Saturday, June 2 from 2-5pm

In Awestruck, Julie Oakes continues to explore themes of the spirituality found in nature through the anthropomorphising of her animal subjects. The subjects seem awestruck by the attention paid to them, which engenders a self-consciousness in their demeanour. In each portrait, the animal subjects are supported by carefully staged scenes, the foliage and environment of the settings adding to metaphors of mortality. Borrowing from vanitas traditions of historical painting, the animals are given the reverence of saints- their fur perfect and eyes bejewelled- they seem to reflect an ideal of nature rather than the real, messy and unpredictable “otherness” of the animal kingdom.
