- Can an artist stay inspired day in and day out?
Under near constant deadlines for the last four years, painter Jamian Juliano-Villani grapples with the demands of consistently producing new and better work. Her paintings have received widespread attention, including gallery and museum exhibitions, adding to the stresses of growing as an artist. "The main pressure is maintaining integrity and making work that you feel good about," says the artist, "even under pressure, which is really difficult."
As a teenager in New Jersey, Juliano-Villani recalls watching artists like Robert Rauschenberg and Frank Stella in the 1973 documentary “Painters Painting,” which inspired her to move to New York City. After taking on a variety of odd jobs-from overnight diner waitress to gymnastics instructor-her romanticized notion of the city changed, but Juliano-Villani has maintained a relentless dedication to advancing her artwork. “You’re only as good as your last painting,” the artist explains, “so each has got to be better.”
Painting a new work in her Ridgewood, Queens studio, the artist experiments with images from her vast digital image collection in a search for solutions, looking for the right content and composition to achieve a balance between psychological depth and light humor. When she gets stuck, Juliano-Villani calls upon friend, studio neighbor and 2017 Whitney Biennial artist Ajay Kurian for input. “I really want to push the paintings, but I don’t know how yet,” she says, “Hopefully I’ll figure it out and make them something that they aren’t yet.”
Jamian Juliano-Villani (b. 1987, Newark, New Jersey, USA) lives and works in New York. Learn more about the artist at: art21.org/arti...

Stress assassinates creativity - Jamian Juliano-Villiani
"This is just a vessel"
Wow this lady is cool.
Love
Copying photographs instantly kills the painting for me .But admire her dedication .
I wish I could post the images of original paintings she plagiarized. Two big paintings, she stole the imagery stroke for stroke. She'll be hearing from his lawyer.
Can someone help me and tell whats the Instrument at the beginning i love it !!
I thought New Jersey is a bit of an extension of NYC
i love u
Gee, I feel bad for all those folks who had to grow up in "middle of nowhere New Jersey" only a handful of miles from New York. As opposed to those of us who grew up a thousand miles from any major art centers.
I had the same thought. Iowa here.
Indiana
Some advice-nobody has time for whiners in the art world.
Theres a thing called a plane and a thing called a lease. So go there and become the next JJV homey.
Which requires a thing called money. Not everyone is born middle class.
Talent and ambition are everywhere. Too much hype too soon benefits the art market more than the artist… similar to John Currin’s solo exhibit at the Whitney long ago with minimal context or real world experience beyond art world hype:(
Jamian Juliano-Villani is a plagiarist, she blatantly ripped off my friend Stan Watts work. Jamian, I'm an art professor and professional artist. I always educate my students about copyright infringement. You went to some great schools, you know better. Stan Watts confronted you on Instagram and you blocked him, you didn't even have the guts to respond to him! You should be ashamed of yourself.
