Julia Rommel (b. 1980) is an American abstract painter. Rommel make paintings of various sizes with cool to warm color palettes of blues, greys, reds and bright citrus hues. Rommel’s laborious process of painting includes cutting and sanding the canvas, and wiping away and adding layers of paint.
Rommel displays meticulous, fragmented abstraction. Rommel balances layering and withdrawal, allowing her work small suggestions of imperfection, perhaps revealing her hand. This exaggerates humility in the viewer while showcasing personality in her paintings.
