Sometimes I see art that just takes my breath away– London artist Amy Judd’s oil paintings do just that. The bold black backgrounds, the softness of skin and feathers, the space to breathe in the grey/blue backgrounds… there is something so calming and feminine about her work that just appeals to me.
The composition, light and positioning of the subject, creates curious images, which conjure up new “mythological” narratives or creatures within the paintings. A recurring theme is the use of Feathers as armour, and birds as familiars. The more surreal nude compositions are bold and strong, the feathers allude to strength, flight and bravery, rather than fragility. –Hicks Gallery
This is art I would hang in our home, in grand scale, had I the extra thousands to spend on such beautiful work! Ah, wishes…
Wow! Gorgeous art! I’m in agreement, I’d hang it huge too… but alas. Thanks for sharing!
love love LOVE!
I thought you might like this Columbus artist, especially the shot of the woman with the skeleton jawbone.
