Modern Abstracts by Judith McKay
About Judith
Judith McKay is a modern abstract artist based in the Toronto area. Her work is dynamic and free-flowing with a strong sense of movement and emotional release. She is an intuitive and high energy painter, juxtaposing vivid colour combinations in broad, sweeping strokes and splashes. Her artwork defies the usual rules of painting. It brings a sense of liberation and creative freedom—a breaking away from conformist constraints. A recurring theme of her work is the inner workings of the unconscious mind, channeling a mix of emotions ranging from excitement and passion to despair and deep contemplation. These contrasts represent a search for balance--a blurring of life experiences we wish we could remember with those we'd sooner forget.
She has exhibited her work at major art fairs, including the Artist Project and the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, as well as private galleries and collections in Toronto, UK, USA and South Africa.

What are your sources of inspiration?I'm constantly following other artists from different eras and from around the world. I especially love post-war Abstract Expressionists, particularly De Kooning, Motherwell and Mitchell. Surrealism is my other great love; I gravitate towards the influential works of Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo. Some of my favourite Canadian artists include Steve Driscoll, Robert Houle and Emily Carr. My latest style is borne from experimentation in many different genres including landscape, figurative painting and impressionism. Lately I've been admiring abstract expressionists from Berlin and channeling their cool vibe into my work.
