Julia Kowalska at Steve Turner
Apr 11, 2024
An unsettling sensibility permeates Julia Kowalska’s Secrets Of Our Loves, on view at Steve Turner. Inscrutable figures glow radiantly within domestic interiors and gardens in some paintings, while others capture a water droplet, a bed bathed in red, and a lamb’s mouth. Kowalska writes that the works were “born under the cover of night,”1 a time when love’s passions most sharply puncture the heart.
