About the Item

This reddish brown pigment drawing has was made with a perforated stencil laid on ivory rag paper, pounced with a sack of powdered pigment. The ordered symmetry of the shape in sienna brown is powerful and elegant on the off-white Somerset 100% archival rag paper. In Judge's technique, pigment passes through the stencil leaving marks, patterns or dots that create an overall image. The version of this technique was developed by the artist and derives from the "spolvero" (meaning dust) used by Renaissance artists to transfer drawings to the wall for fresco painting. The stencils are made by tracing a single symmetrical form many times, working from the center out, being open to variations that happen along the way. Random effects are an important aspect of the finished piece. Mary Judge is an artist in love with Italian art and traditional Italian art making techniques. Through her extensive knowledge of both Judge taps these traditions to craft and make contemporary her own personal artistic language. Utilizing the sensuality of her materials and embracing the chance events inherent in her process-driven work she continues to evolve and innovate her work in paint or dry pigment media. Mary Judge’s work has been exhibited widely in the Unites States, Italy, Switzerland, and Israel and is in numerous public and private collections including The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, The British Museum, London, England, The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, England, Permanent Collection of the US Embassy, Kazakhstan, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY, The Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia, PA, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA. She earned a BFA from Moore College of Art, Philadelphia, PA, and an MFA from Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA, and Rome, Italy. The artist lives and works in the metropolitan New York area.
