Using an intuitive painting process I love to experiment with brushes and other tools to push the paint around, covering parts, pulling out pieces of information, adding layers and elements, revealing...all from a focused state of connection and an excitement about possibility. Though I most often use nature as a starting point, these paintings are allowed to evolve and flow one layer at a time providing an opportunity to create a balanced and contemplative abstract painting.
Using layers upon layers of acrylic paints, pastels, charcoal, graphite and other media, rich textures and expressive surfaces are created. Through a process of building layers, mark making, erasure and rebuilding, the resulting imagery is often ambiguous, challenging the viewer to find their own meaning and interpretation of the the work.
This is an original one of a kind painting by Judi Bagnato.
This painting is 30" x30" x 1.5" on gallery wrapped canvas. Sides are painted in black for a finished look.
