July Adrichem (1988) is a Dutch artist whose work centres on minimalistic forms and the pursuit of balance within an ever-changing environment. Her practice explores the interplay of shape, material, and colour, resulting in sculptural compositions where harmony and tension coexist. The process of synchronisation between these elements lies at the core of her artistic vision.

Adrichem began her artistic journey at Artemis Academy Amsterdam, where she graduated in 2012. She subsequently joined Piet Boon Studio as an interior stylist, where she developed a series of handmade styling objects. This experience marked a pivotal moment in her career, shaping her direction towards autonomous artistic practice.

Since establishing her independent practice in 2014, Adrichem has dedicated over ten years to the development of her artistic oeuvre. Her work has evolved into a distinctive visual language defined by minimalism, abstraction, and a refined sense of materiality. Notable bodies of work include the Art Bowl Series, which exemplify her exploration of form, depth, and spatial balance.

Adrichem’s work resonates with the principles of the ZERO Movement, particularly in its use of monochrome surfaces, rhythm, and the interplay of light and shadow. Like the artists of this movement, she seeks to dissolve the boundaries between sculpture and painting, creating works that embody a quiet yet powerful equilibrium. Her practice reflects an ongoing search for harmony between nature, art, and the structures of contemporary life.
