Biography/Statement:
Judith Lamb, a New Yorker
who moved to Delaware County in the early 1980's, has
been painting her entire life.
After experimenting with different styles of painting,
she discovered that still life was the perfect vehicle
for her temperament:
I love being alone in my studio, juxtaposing those
found objects which have attracted my eye with fruits
and vegetables from nature. There is a peace and silence
I find therapeutic. Creating a still-life arrangement
is a puzzle--when it doesn't work (and I don't know
why) I must stop and re-arrange what is on the table
The process begins again and finally, when I do connect,
it is clear sailing from then on. I love these objects
and I am aware that my still-life set up is anything
but casual. It is deeply thought out and felt. Each
object has a reason for being where I place it--though
at times I would be hard pressed to explain exactly
why. Sometimes I think of my shapes dancing in space
as a melody might affect one's hearing. There is a rhythm
implicit as I work out a composition.
The paintings produced by Judith Lamb have been accurately
described as..."masterfully capturing the very
real but usually overlooked vitality that her subjects
hold. Ms. Lamb's paintings are much more than thoughtful
renderings of inanimate objects; they are careful studies
of what lies beneath what the eye perceives."
