Welcome back to another Work of the Week post! Today I wanted to do something different and focus on a living artist whose work I love: Judith Geher. Geher is a Canadian architect who specializes in painting and drawing. The way that she combines the two mediums is something I find alluring and beautiful. I am drawn to her "sketchy," loose painting style and use of bright colors. I'm sure her background in architecture plays a key role in her use of line.
Her work is mostly portraiture, but features more movement and vibrancy than any other portrait artist I have encountered, elevating the genre to a fresh, new place.
Here are some of my favorite works:

| Courage, 2011 |

| Spring Cloak, 2010 |

| Lavender Runway, 2012 |

I love these so much. I'd actually already pinned the middle one on Pinterest but I didn't know whom it was by! Do you know what the medium is? Maybe gouache?
ReplyDeleteI love them too… the middle one is my favorite!! That's great you now know who the artist is. Its always frustrating to me when I find cool art I love on Pinterest and have no idea who made it!
DeleteShe works primarily in oil paints but the paint does look similar to effect of gouache. She also paints/draws on wood instead of canvas which I think is pretty cool!
