Julia von Metzsch Ramos
Julia von Metzsch Ramos offers a body of work that is vigorous and distinctive. Her paintings are primarily seascapes done on site from Massachusetts’ north shore. Islands, trees, and rocks all come in and out of view, but what is most mysterious is the atmosphere and movement Ramos is able to capture. Ramos uses transparent layers of paint to achieve depth and illusion, creating a tension particularly well suited to the ever-changing New England weather. Fantastical and prism-like clouds become one with the motion of the waves. Patterns one normally sees in the wind-driven waves are reflected in Ramos’ blustery skies.
Ramos’ excitement about the work comes from growing up nearby and seeing the ever-changing landscape on a daily basis. In her statement for the exhibition, Ramos reflects on her experience.
Ramos received her BA in 2007 and Masters in 2010 in Fine Arts from Boston University, and then returned to Boston University as a MFA Painting Fellow at the School of Visual Arts. Ramos is in the collection of Danforth Art.
