Together with Joyce Kozloff, Miriam Schapiro, and other artists associated with Pattern and Decoration, Jaudon challenged the long-held perception of decorative, or “feminine,” art as an inferior counterpart to abstraction as practiced by predominantly male artists.
Jaudon’s paintings evoke the ornamental embellishments of folk and applied arts from many cultures, but are constructed from the traditional vocabulary of Western, non-referential abstraction. Her approach to abstraction reflects a fascination with systems and an interest using simple elements to create visual complexity.
She begins by generating decorative motifs from superimposed horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and circular grids. She extends these designs through various modes of repetition, altering the motifs until they cover her canvas. Working with a limited color palette, she paints close to the edges of her penciled outlines, leaving thin bands of raw canvas exposed between the colored forms.
The resulting images are systematic and strongly evocative of architecture, calligraphy, and hieroglyphs. Like visual puzzles, Jaudon’s abstraction invites the viewer to decipher the grammatical structure embedded in each work.
While Jaudon is best known as a painter, she also creates prints and has executed numerous public art projects, including murals and landscape designs of public gardens. She lives and works in New York.

Valerie Jaudon Biography
During the course of Jaudon's distinguished forty-year career, she has been committed to redefining the parameters of abstraction. A member of the original Pattern and Decoration group, she is a representative of important tendencies of the larger Postminimalist movement. Jaudon was the driving force behind the influential 1991 Sidney Janis Gallery exhibition, Conceptual Abstraction (reprised and expanded in 2012 in an exhibition in the Hunter College Times Square Galleries, curated by Pepe Karmel and Joachim Pissarro) and has continued to work toward the development of a grammar of abstraction.
Most recently, Jaudon's work has been included in several national and international museum exhibitions focusing on the Pattern and Decoration movement: With Pleasure: Pattern and Decoration in American Art 1972-1985, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA (2019-2020); Less is a Bore: Maximalist Art & Design, Institute for Contemporary Art, Boston, MA (2019); Pattern and Decoration: Ornament as Promise, Ludwig Forum, Aachen, Germany, Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Vienna, Austria, and Ludwig Museum, Budapest, Hungary (2018-2019); Pattern, Decoration & Crime, MAMCO, Geneva, Switzerland, and Le Consortium, Dijon, France (2018-2019).
Jaudon is the recipient of numerous awards and grants and her work has been collected by and exhibited in major museums. Among them are The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC; McNay Art Museum, San Antonio; St. Louis Art Museum, St. Louise; Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany; the Louisiana Museum of Modern art, Humlebaeck, Denmark; Ludwig Forum Internationale Kunst, Aachen, Germany.
Jaudon has also completed a number of highly regarded public projects. Of particular note are The Birmingham Museum of Art; the Städel Museum, Frankfurt; Thomas F. Eagleton United States Courthouse, St. Louis, Missouri; Reagan National Airport, Washington DC; Manhattan Municipal Building, New York; MTA Lexington Avenue Subway, 23rd Street, New York.

"Paladin #2" - Framed Contemporary Multimedia Abstract Painting
By G. Campbell Lyman
Located in New Orleans, LA
(Comes float-framed behind glass.)
Artist's Statement: "I was working on my "Gridish" paintings (you can find them in a search on the term "Gridish" on this site) when I became fascinated with certain materials I was working with - a new type of super-flat, super-black paint; powdered graphite; and iron oxide pigment. I had a small canvas ready to go, and shifted my attention to concentrating on just one of the rectangular forms I had been using in the Gridish series, and applying these materials in a way that pleased me. That sort of industrial sheen on the surface of the rectangle is really beautiful to me. This was a second I made, on paper. Quite obviously the mood given off by these works is greatly different from the colorful Gridish paintings that spawned them. My daughter, studying design at RISD, said she found the pic I...
