Tom Judd
Tom Judd The Myth of the Frontier: Frontier Life

2015

About the Item

Condition: This painting is in great condition. Provenance: Direct from the artist. Artist Statment: This country has always felt to me like an out of control experiment. A fiction that became a manifestation. As a people we seem to embrace a superficial fantasy of ourselves. It requires a lot of blind faith and promotion. It is a land full of romantic stories, bigger than life ambitions, a winner-take-all mentality that leaves us lost in a swirl of desire and longing. This series is mostly collage, an assemblage of conflicting ideas. It attempts to reconstitute the Myth of America, particularly the settling of the west. I wanted to capture the sad fate of our fantasies, trying too hard to live up to our shoot from the hip heroes. Where does the movie end and life begin? I love everything about these contradictions, this is not a put down of our national obsessions but a celebration of weird old America; the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Urbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies. Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life.
