Judith North’s paintings often explore interior and exterior spaces or contemplate single objects. These spaces and objects, rooted in the real world, are constructed from observation and memory and tend to be devoid of context. Her painting process, involving the application and removal of successive layers of paint is part of her search to find equilibrium between the real and the imagined. She is attracted to the geometry in a subject and uses colour and composition to help create a sense of emotion and atmosphere.
