Tom Judd

    Judd sometimes works with collaged paper, typically with handwritten text, then uses oils to create somewhat mysterious images. I'm drawn to the ephemeral feeling as well as the detailed rendering of imagery. Judd's titles are always kind of quirky too. He is a very skilled painter and printmaker. He often depicts wildlife in an Audobon Society kind of way which could read as stale and scientific, but Judd's collaged backgrounds imbue the work with a feeling of intimacy and mystery.
