Looking at the work of Julie Tremblay (Julie Tremblay), we believe her words that it was in sculpture that she found her true vocation. Her figures floating in the air suggest space, mortality, strength and sensuality, they have intriguing symbolism and convey an almost mystical meaning to the viewer …
Julia's air sculptures are made of thousands of metal particles, the transparency of which and the ability to reflect light give the impression of a continuous movement of figures. They occupy space, but at the same time they create it within themselves. Conveying a certain sense of loneliness, the sculptures are like prisoners enclosed in transparent cocoons and eagerly awaiting the moment of transformation into a butterfly.
Julia Tremblay says that she simply adores metal as a material for sculptures. Now she uses pieces of metal left over from the manufacture of bottle caps for work. The author says that she can control the density of the material inside the sculpture, and thus create transparent shapes through which you can see. “Someone may say that my sculptures are made of metal, but if someone else says that they are made of thin air, he will be right too,” assures Julia.
The sculptures of the author depict the figures of people in a variety of, sometimes even impossible in reality, poses. “My work is not about realism,” says Julia, “although, of course, it is very important that the figures are recognizable. I hope that when people look at sculptures and find their anomalies, they will ask themselves: why, for example, there is no head here, and the legs are too thin? In this way, I try to immerse the viewer in a symbolic world where the human body is used as a metaphor to convey an idea. But at the same time, I do not want my work to be too preachy, so it is also important that the sculptures remain mysterious and intriguing. They give more questions than answers."
Julia Tremblay was born in 1972 in Quebec, Canada and currently lives in Copenhagen.
