'Julie Swimming I' captures an intimate moment with the artist's expressionist vigour. It depicts a female swimmer rendered with bold brushstrokes and dynamic composition, conveying both movement and tranquillity. The artwork reflects Childish's ongoing exploration of personal narratives and his connection to the waterways of Kent.
This artwork draws from artistic traditions of bathers and swimmers, from Impressionist scenes to David Hockney's pool series, while maintaining Childish's raw, emotionally direct style. His approach transforms a private moment into a universal meditation on human connection with water and nature.
