Take a walk down lonely street....

Inside the mind of watercolourist and printmaker
Juli Haas a dazzling world of imagination both wrestles with and celebrates the ubiquitous nature of human experience. Dark and menacing, yet full of humour and irony Haas' work plunges the viewer into a realm of private demons and intimate encounters.

In her exhibition, Heartbreak Hotel, (July 31 - August 18 2007), complex compositions and multiple realities unleashed a narrative of individuals at odds with their circumstances, lost in dark corridors of the mind. Like marionettes in someone else's dream Haas' characters engage in the bizarre, symbolic and nonsensical as they search out moments of longing and connection. These strange worlds of heightened colour and gothic sensibility stimulate the imagination and ask us to closely inspect conditions of the heart.

Her highly distinctive & rich imagery is in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, Queensland Art Gallery, Art Gallery of NSW, numerous regional galleries, and private and corporate collections throughout the world. She has been awarded the Sir John Sulman Prize, the Silk Cut Award, the Shell Art Prize, the Acquisitive Award by the Hawaii State Foundation, and numerous others.
