SCULPTURE & DRAWINGS

Sculptor and installation artist Julie Levesque continues to attract critical acclaim for her work. Rendered almost exclusively in white, these sculptures have evoked a strong narrative of opposing forces and boundaries as they relate to relationships. Her works are executed in ever-changing mediums which have included wood, metal, and slate as well as salt, marble dust, found objects and video and photography. The year’s body of work focuses on the beautiful simplicity of ideas before they become form…the zero moment of the swirl of connections in your head. Zero is nothing and everything, the space between before and after, absence and presence – a point of inflection. It is that moment of stasis just before things spring into action. Covid 19 is a Zero moment. In 2001 Levesque took 1st prize in the Provincetown Art Association and Museum’s Annual Invitational Exhibition. As a result, she was invited to create a complete installation in the museum’s galleries. She is a past winner of the prestigious Massachusetts Cultural Council Individual Artists Grant as well as a recipient of the Artist’s Trust Grant from the Berkshire/Tatonic Fund. Her work is included in the collections of the DeCordova Museum and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum and has been exhibited widely at venues on the east coast.
