Julia Theek (born June 9, 1966) is a German painter and filmmaker from Potsdam, Germany.
Life[edit]
Julia Theek was born in Potsdam in the GDR. With her grandfather, the artist Paul August, she learned traditional art techniques since preschool age. After graduating from high school, she worked at the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg and led a youth club. 1988 to 1995 she studied aesthetics, art and media studies at Berlin's Humboldt University, wrote the thesis on "Semiotic Interpretation Techniques ". Julia Theek exhibited her computer graphics in 1988, assemblages in 1990 and a multi-media installation 1992 at the famous “37 Räume” in Berlin-Mitte Auguststraße.[1] In 1993 she participated in a seminar on film production at the University of Southern California which enabled her to explore video facilities, made music videos and documentaries, from medieval street music to pop as well as Russian folk music performed by the Soviet Army's music corps. In the late 90s she switched the focus of her work back to art with the documentary The unseen Warhol and New York Meet, in 2002 she made a cycle of acrylic paintings with palaces and ruins for “European – Visual Storm II”, a video installation. Turning back to painting she developed her own characteristic airbrush technique – bringing the workmanlike competence of motorcycle design in Berlin's backyard sheds to bear on aspects of high culture, such as architecture. Her paintings delt with lots of Prussian palaces – from Egypt Kairo to the German backcountry. 1999 – 2009 she artdirected Potsdamer Schlössernacht at Sanssouci-Park. [2][3]
