Julia Oborne’s paintings combine dreamlike colour and strange composition with solid, tangible objects, and have the aim of creating surreal scenes which do not quite ‘work’ whether this be because of an ill-fitting form or an unbalanced composition.

Unfamiliar Spaces uses the traditional technique of oil on canvas, to produce something far from traditional. Forms which don’t seem to belong or forms which produce an odd composition challenge the idea of what is traditionally seen in paintings to be aesthetically pleasing.
