Item Special Note
Julie Peppito's artwork is a combination of psychedelic collage, miniature quilts, botanical illustration and Americana that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. Like insects stuck in a spider web, sentimental and natural objects, litter and other ephemera are embedded into the surfaces of her drawings and sculptures with obsessive stitching, fungus-like raised patterns, finely painted lines and other repetitive motifs that flow between two and three dimensions. These tapestry-like masses disperse into fantastical and realistically rendered narratives reminiscent of childhood—innocent, deep and reflective at the same time.
Julie Peppito received a BFA in 1992 from The Cooper Union in New York City, and an MFA from Alfred University in Alfred, NY in 2004. She has received a New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Fellowship for sculpture. Her work has been the subject of six one woman shows, and she has shown her work extensively, primarily in New York City. You can see her playground art at J.J. Byrne Playground and Underhill Playground both in Brooklyn. She is currently represented by Heskin Contemporary in Manhattan. You can see more of her work at www.juliepeppito.com
