Judy Ledgerwood

Judy Ledgerwood has created canvases and wall paintings in which ornament and color play a major role since the 1980s. The artist intentionally takes her own position within recent art history and challenges its prevailing, supposedly fixed premises and role assignments. She adopts influences from color field and action painting and combines them with simple geometric patterns reminiscent of popular culture and textile design, and often associated with femininity. Judy Ledgerwood thus arrives at colorful, strong, and sensual compositions that postulate ornament as an artistic design element.
