Artist Statement
IN-APPROPIATE ART
The “InAppropriate” as a subject matter is a focus of Juls' work (although it wouldn’t be appropriate to take this too seriously). Her characters are illegitimate and liars. They possess fetishes or totems that feed their illusions of self-control. This relationship with the totem is a sexual necessity for feeling unique and it's required for the survival of the mind.
Juls Gabs' researches on new icons and emerging folklore from the digital era. Living online is producing a fluidity of the persona that she explores in her creations. Here, the appropriation of cultures removes the barriers and drives society into an erotic-plastic body. It is in this hybrid where Juls’ handcraft take place and the mix of techniques: painting, GIF, tapestry, sound, sculpture and tech-art; merge into one another, developing a new language of freedom.
Juls’ art provides an opportunity for her audience to play with and experience the hypocritical lives of her characters. This enables us to discover new “truths” in our everyday lives and create new scenarios.
