ABOUT THE ARTIST

Judith Geichman’s process is driven by a relentless exploration of painting’s possibilities through abstraction. Her ever-shifting and rigorous approach is at times contemplative and cautious, and at others, aggressive and reckless. She embraces risk and uncertainty, paying equal attention to the constructive and destructive, as her paintings are generated through a sequence of formal and material instigations and responses.

Judith Geichman (b.1944), lives and works in Chicago. She attended Ohio State University, and received her MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Geichman’s work has been exhibited at The Spertus Museum, Chicago; Illinois State Museum, State of Illinois Gallery; Struve Gallery, Chicago; Stephen Rosenberg Gallery, New York City; Rockford Art Museum; Chicago Cultural Center; Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, Chicago; Alfedena Gallery, Chicago; National Academy Museum, New York: Julius Caesar, Chicago; Carrie Secrist Gallery, Chicago. She is a recipient of two National Endowment for the Arts Awards, and the Margaret Kelmek Phillips Grant.
