"Korneffel develops a palette for each painting based on research and intuition, paying particular attention to the paint's viscosity and its capacity for making distinct kinds of marks."
"The marks - their shape and thickness - seem crucial and spontaneous, while carrying a trace of whimsy and vulnerability, creating a paradox of austerity and lushness."
"In her most recent exhibition, she started out wanting to make a group of blue paintings but ended up working on gray paintings due to her circumstances."
"The winter sky of northeastern Germany, where Korneffel spent time, is a dense fog in which the sun briefly appears, influencing her exploration of light in her work."
Jule Korneffel's artwork combines elements of Roman mythology and Italian Renaissance painting, focusing on color relationships and the fleeting nature of light. Her recent exhibition features a series of gray paintings inspired by her winter in northeastern Germany. Korneffel's approach to painting involves a careful selection of natural pigments and acrylics, emphasizing the viscosity of paint and the spontaneity of marks. The interplay between restraint and exuberance in her work reflects her evolving artistic vision and deep engagement with themes of light and perception.
