whispers When I first met Juliette in 2002 I was struck by a series of powerful drawings made directly from the seascape at Chapelporth. They were energetic emotional responses that echoed what it was to be stood there, in the elements, and face up to the challenge. These drawings spoke clearly of what was to come and reflected the ambition and commitment that still remains. Juliette has always had a clear vision of her creative journey and this has been underpinned by both a passion for drawing and for the substance of paint itself. In these new paintings I see both elements come together in perfect balance. Strong calligraphic forms float, either in stark contrast to the intensely coloured ground, or delicately emerge from the subtle pale hues. They reveal emotions once present in her direct responses to the landscape now in response to a personal inner landscape. Seeing the evolution of these paintings over a long period of time has afforded me an unusual insight into another’s painters’ world. I am reminded of an observation Lucian Freud once made, “The painter makes real to others his inner most feelings about all that he cares for. A secret becomes known to everyone who views the picture through the intensity with which it is felt” These are compelling paintings with intensity and truth, and they hold many secrets for the viewer to behold. By Lisa Wright.
