Pia Juhl | New Paintings

November 5 - 27, 2022

Opening Reception: Saturday November 5th from 4-7pm

Juhl moved to Cape Ann in 1996 where she began painting the incredible beauty of the region.  Early on, Edward Hopper was a great influence. Her subjects were mostly people. Today, her paintings are more intuitive and influenced by Milton Avery, Wolf Kahn and Catalan artist Jaume Maxart. Her subjects are the marshes, the sea and especially the energy of the rocks. with their hard edges that sometime seem violent and primitive.  She is presently concentrating on large scale subjects. Being a brilliant colorist, Juhl likes to break a scene down to its essential palette and shape, using the brush to ‘feel’ the paintings form.

‘In my new series of paintings, I focus on Gloucester neighborhoods—each one unique and beautiful. These urban landscapes emerged from my own vision and represent an amalgam of the linear qualities of our city—one neighborhood after another.’ — Pia Juhl
