Julia Dault

Julia Dault is a Toronto-born, Brooklyn-based artist working across painting and sculpture. Her sculptures build a self-supporting object from large sheets of rolled Plexiglas and Formica, set against the wall and bound with cotton cord and Everlast boxing hand wraps — an esthetic that folds a sculptural rigour into a pop sensibility.

She drew wider attention with her contribution to "The Ungovernables," the 2012 New Museum Triennial, and showed the same year at White Cube Bermondsey in London, with further appearances at the Gwangju and Marrakech biennials.

Her first solo exhibition in Canada opened at the Jessica Bradley Annex in 2013, presenting seven abstract paintings and two site-specific sculptures in the Junction space — a venue whose scale suited the work.
