Julia Chiang was born in 1978 in Atlantic City (NJ) and lives and works in Brooklyn. She received her degree in Art History and Studio Art from New York University. Her painterly process is slow, controlled while spontaneous. Organic shapes coalesce on the picture plane in varying densities of paint, and with amoebic fervor, scrimmage for territory.
Her work has been exhibited internationally and solo exhibitions of her work include Remember That Time When What, Nanzuka, Tokyo, and Salt On My Skin, Nicola Vassell Gallery, New York (both 2023); Holding My Breath Moving Closer Closer, The Modern Institute, Glasgow, and Julia Chiang, The Journal Gallery, New York (both 2020); Pump And Bump, Nanzuka, Tokyo, and Spit Sweat Shhh, The Modern Institute, Glasgow (both 2019). Public projects include the Rockaway Hotel Mural in Far Rockaway, Queens, and the RxART mural at the Nappi Wellness Institute, SUNY Upstate, Syracuse.
