ART 21 - Judy Pfaff

Judy Pfaff is an artist from London, England who specializes in abstract sculpture. Pfaff's work is described as exuberant and sprawling for their color and form. If I had to describe Pfaff's work I would have to say that they are both whimsical and thought provoking.   

Below is one of Judy Pfaff's exhibits from 2018, Sculptures Recollected. Pfaff's use of color draws the viewers eyes towards the circular objects that are created using brighter colors. However unless a closer look is taken one might fail to see the detail in the brushstrokes that uses colors such as grey, black and beige.

Below is another of Pfaff's works, this one titled Buckets of Rain. Pfaff's excellent use of balance draws the viewer's eyes directly to the center then forces them to make tough decision, do I look up or down. This piece is especially thought provoking and tells a story of its own.
