Julie Gladstone: My Heart at Night

Please join us at Emily Harding Gallery on June 20th as we re-open with

Julie Gladstone's solo show, My Heart at Night.

Julie Gladstone is a Canadian interdisciplinary artist working in painting, textiles, performance, video and writing, who lives and works in Toronto. She received her MFA from OCAD University (2022) and BFA from Concordia University, Montreal (2006). Her studio research has been funded by the Toronto Arts Council, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Ontario Graduate Scholarship. Notable exhibitions have included the Art Museum at the University of Toronto (2024), Redeemer University (2022), the Museum of Jewish Montreal (2020), David Melul Museum Judio in Béjar, Spain (2019), the Department of Canadian Heritage, Toronto (2018), Navillus Gallery (2015), and Walnut Contemporary (2013). Gladstone is a member of the artist collective, Object(ive) Collect(ive), and is also a participant of the feminist artist collective, Entresabanas, in Béjar, Spain. Her work can be found in private and public collections in Canada and abroad.

In this new series of paintings and drawings, she reprises her ongoing investigation into the impermanence of the landscape using an introspective approach she refers to as, “internal sublime.” The work highlights the importance of female experiences and inner life including intimacy, rest, contemplation, emotions and memory. This is Gladstone’s first solo painting exhibition since becoming a mother, and her first solo exhibition at Emily Harding Gallery.
