Painting Perceptions is again very fortunate to have a guest interview from Neil Plotkin who has been living in London for the summer.

Interview with Judith Green by Neil Plotkin

 

An artist that I found to be interesting here in London is Judith Green who currently lives and works in Cornwall and shows at the Medici Gallery. She was born in London and studied Graphic Design at Kingston School of Art. was an art director at J. Walter Thompson and co-founded a design consultancy in 1984. She started studying painting part time at the Slade School of Art in 1995 and in 2000 decided to focus solely on painting.

Much of the work on her website is from a series about her late father’s experiences in the Normandy Invasion. She has gone to the exact places that her father fought during the war and done paintings based upon what she is seeing now and her experiences of seeing those places.
