JBL (Julie Berger Lindh) breathes substance into hazy dreams. Linking technological advancement with something fragile and sensory, her work dips its feet both into realism and abstraction. Lindh’s practice abounds in washes of soft, pastel colour, sometimes punctuated by details rendered in neon hues. Organic forms that ressemble floating rocks defy physics, and yet provide a weightiness to a world which otherwise could be a cloud, thereby bringing a sense of tactility to an ethereal realm. With a foundation in the aesthetics of atmosphere and the inherent narrative of space, the artist searches for something still enough to decouple hyperbolics from escapism. In its place, something gentler emerges.
JBL has most recently taken part in exhibitions with Denver Digerati, Galeria Melissa, Extraordinary Hope, Nowhere Gallery, and Vancouver Winter Arts Festival. In Norway, she has been part of exhibitions with Gallery Brenneriet, Gallery Ingensteds, and Varmtbadet with Drøbak art collective, as well as a solo exhibition at Sniki Art Gallery.

About the artwork
This place contains a shallow chamber plumping up with breeze. Filling itself to lazy expansion, then calling out for some shiny, bright thing. A call like that will always be returned by an echo. This entire place is just echoes.
About the series
“This place holds no predictions about the future.
Yet the resoluteness of a universe in stagnation might cease to unfold just like this.
A place rather unstuck in time.
Still, it’s a moving breathing place.
Soft and slow.
In a tiny pocket of its mind exists evolution and extinction. But there is something nuzzled in between.
That’s this place.
A Möbius strip
Doubling up on itself until it becomes a haze.
Not quite there. Not quite a vagueness.”
Julie Berger Lindh
