Judith Geichman

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.
