About the Item

Figurative painting of a museum guard with portrait paintings the Yale British Museum "Connoisseurs", painted by Judith Wyer, in 2017 oil on wood panel 9.5 x 13.25 inches with a handmade natural dark wood frame Artist signature, verso "Connoisseurs which was initially inspired by a gallery in the Yale British Museum and then was transformed by an interior in the San Diego Museum only to be finished with an imaginary interior to accommodate the idea of the connoisseurs, the Guard, the portrayed and the viewer wearing black." This figurative painting was made by Connecticut based artist, Judith Wyer, in 2017. The painting features a museum guard against the pale green and pink walls of the portrait gallery at the Yale British Museum. Portraits of prominent individuals gaze down at the guard and the woman in the background, creating an interesting commentary on class society. The painting is complemented with a handmade natural wood frame. Artist's statement about the painting: Connoisseurs which was initially inspired by a gallery in the Yale British Museum and then was transformed by an interior in the San Diego Museum only to be finished with an imaginary interior to accommodate the idea of the connoisseurs, the Guard, the portrayed and the viewer wearing black. Artist Statement: Making a painting is a journey with an unknown destination.. In this respect, I consider my process much like a writer where the narrative seems to develop itself. The relationship of the word and the image is crucial. My work often begins with a photograph of a captivating image, a fleeting moment of everyday existence. From this I begin the process of developing the narrative which most often requires numerous edits and lengthy periods of just looking at the work and not touching it. This can take years. The work and I grow together which hopefully yields a provocative and intimate elucidation of the human condition. Once I arrive on a title, which is almost never at the outset, everything comes into sharper focus and the work's form and meaning come into closer agreement. . In fact, I never consider a piece finished. The challenge of one piece informs the next which sometimes leads to resurrecting an incomplete piece from the past. My attic is full of such unfinished works.The words of Diego Velazquez continue to guide me, "Es Verdad, No Pintura." Artist Resume: Judith Wyer is an artist based in Connecticut.
