Named among Time Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2020, Julie Mehretu is one of the most praised abstract artists working today. Her mid-career survey at The Whitney Museum, currently on view, shows more than 20 years of the artist's examination of painting, history, geopolitics, and displacement. Julie Mehretu produces very large prints, drawings, and paintings that are built up through layers of acrylic paint, overlaid with mark-making using pencil, pen, ink, airbrush and screen prints. Critics have linked her work to nonliteral art movements noting her inspiration from the works of Frank Bowling and David Hammons.
