Jule Korneffel’s abstract paintings focus on the application of color and feature minimalist mark-making over a visible underpainting. She views this process of layering the picture plane as a filter for her experience as she arrives at the precise forms and colors for each work. Korneffel’s practice draws inspiration from both Italian Renaissance painters as well as the intuitive and open-layered style of the American tradition.
Jule Korneffel, born in Germany, graduated from Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2008 as Meisterschüler under Tal R. Since 2015 Korneffel has been based in New York City where she received an M.F.A. from Hunter College in 2018. After, she quickly gained attention for emotional but reductive paintings: recent shows include Phase Patterns at ltd los angeles, Here comes trouble at Spencer Brownstone in NYC, Mini Me Mary in Dialogue with Mary Heilmann at Albada Jelgersma Gallery in Amsterdam, All that kale at Claas Reiss Gallery in London, and most recently her work was featured on Platform Art (backed by David Zwirner) with Spencer Brownstone Gallery. Some recent press and writings are John Yau’s review Color Is the Carrier of Emotion in Hyperallergic (2019), The Ongoing Present Moment of Making: Jule Korneffel Interviewed by Hannah Bruckmüller in BOMB Magazine (2021), Terry R. Myers’ essay on occasion of her show at Claas Reiss (2020/21).
