julie arkinson

Julie Arkinson, originally from Quebec, earned a degree in visual arts from Concordia University in 1997. Based in Montreal, she works in painting and drawing on paper using oil, charcoal, and pastel. Her artistic practice explores themes of time, its cycles, and the body as a vessel for memory and thought. She has exhibited multiple series such as “Entre-deux-Mondes,” “Déjà-vu,” “Trajectoire imaginaire du temps,” “Deuils,” “Éphémérides,” “Corps de mémoire,” and “Départs.” Her work reflects deep concerns with memory and temporality and is included in both private and public collections in Quebec. In 2025, she was awarded the Loto-Québec Prize for the eco-responsible approach of the BIECTR Biennial. Her pieces emphasize the interplay between the body, memory, and time through a profoundly introspective visual approach.
