Judith Laws
Artist’s Statement
“Most of my paintings are abstractions based on nature. For me, the process of painting, is mainly concerned with portraying the theme or mood in such a way that colours, forms and lines are kept in harmony.
The structures, colours, textures and forces found in nature add impetus to a spontaneous fusion of ideas. I paint from remembered experiences and the need to create. I find that the actual physical “doing” of mixing, applying and pushing the paint around, is an exhilarating experience.
I have become involved with colour sensations, shape, space, texture, movement and dramatic and lyrical content. My aim is to illuminate an idea to clarify and objectify a point of view – an idea in visual form”.
