Description

‘So here, whilst not being vessels or fruit, the shapes are making a noise and want to be heard and seen. These paintings are a nod to the late artist Sonia Delaunay.  I found her on a trail of investigation for Art Deco carpet ideas for the block of flats that I live in.‘

A definition of syncopated art:

“looks like a visual representation of jazz music or a breaking rhythm, characterized by unexpected, off-beat arrangements of colour, shape, and line that disrupt visual predictability.  Instead of a smooth, uniform or symmetrical pattern, syncopated art feels energetic, jarring or “bouncy”, with elements that shift focus away from where the eye typically expects them to land.”

Oil on canvas framed with a black tray frame.

Size (including frame): 83cm x 83cm.

Location: At the gallery in Wimbledon, London.

The Artist

Judith Fisher

"My work often starts with something I've seen, and sometimes something I think I've seen. Influenced always by my surroundings. Even though I may begin with a flower, a vessel and colours I've seen in a book or on a poster, or in the landscape that is where it ends. The next thing that happens is unexpected and is purely my imagination. So I think still life paintings should always be on the move... Thus my flying flowers, flat vessels with no front or back, colours that aren't flowers and shapes that aren't vessels and so on!

My work aims to have a playful and dynamic feel, making paintings that are instantly approachable.

I work primarily in oils on canvas and use palette knives to give texture.
I am a founder member of the Unstill Life Movement – well, the only member thus far!"
