The Union Club proudly presents a solo exhibition by the renowned British artist Julie Verhoeven, of new prints and vintage drawings, from 12 September until 27 October 2023.
Wildly feminine and irrepressibly naughty, ‘Don’t. don’t you want me?’ has a “fur coat and no knickers vibe”, says Julie Verhoeven. Tragi-comic lusty ladies, rendered in her indomitable pen and ink style, are the stars of this show; forming an unruly cohort, with scant regard for social graces.
“I loved the flirtatious concept of having a show in a cocktail bar and potentially titillating or repelling the punters, that might frequent such an establishment. It is rather sad to admit but I draw to be seen, in a desperate act of display. Somewhat melodramatic, but this urgency to draw continues to amplify, as time starts to diminish. Drawing satisfies my primal urge to make a mess and feel something, anything.”
“Don’t. Don’t you want me?’ is a brazen display of wanton prints and drawings looking for their forever
home.” Julie Verhoeven
Printed in editions of just five, each print is hand-finished, signed and numbered by the artist. The Union Club welcomes you to come and take a look.
The opening reception will be held on Monday 11th September, 6-8.30pm. Please RSVP.
