Julia McKinlay: Constructing the Surface
Julia McKinlay: Constructing the Surface
Open 01-02 & 07-08 March / 12-4pm
Private View Friday 07 March 6-9pm
Responding to the agency of material drives McKinlay’s practice. Metal resists, pigments bleed and acids react. Through interacting with these materials, a body of work emerges. McKinlay moves between two- and three-dimensions, translating forms across drawing, print and sculpture. Mutations and evolutions happen as subjects shift across dimensions.
Constructing the Surface at GLOAM follows on from her recent exhibition Slip Across These Planes presented at Hyde Park Art Club, Leeds to bring together a curated group of work produced over the last two years. The exhibition centers around a new large scale drawing made in response to the gallery architecture. Constructing the Surface includes sculpture, drawing, print and painting. The works allow materials to interact and worlds to be constructed. Through working with a variety of materials and processes, the exhibition explores formal sculptural questions around flatness, surface and scale.
Julia McKinlay is an artist based in Leeds, UK. Her practice is a process of discovering a language of sculptural forms that often explore the boundaries of the human made in relation to organic matter. Recent exhibitions include Slip Across These Planes, Hyde Park Art Club, Leeds (2025); Making Poetry with Solid Objects II at Komagome SOKO, Tokyo; Surface and Form at AIR 3331, Tokyo; Julia McKinlay and Hiroko Nakajima: A Pair of Lungs, Nakanojo Biennale 2023, Gunma, Japan; Leeds Artists Show 2023, Leeds Art Gallery (2023). Julia McKinlay programmes Threshold, an open-air gallery for exhibitions of sculpture in the garden of a back-to-back terraced house in Leeds.
This exhibition has been supported by an Arts Council England Developing Your Creative Practice Grant.
