Painter Amy Judd (born 1980) is a London based artist who is exclusively represented by Hicks Gallery Wimbledon. In her work she paints portraits of women full of mystery and beauty. It’s a collection of sensitive, silent moments with some of them full of mischievous intrigue while others are more seductive and surreal. Judd draws inspiration from the enchanting and imaginative relationship between birds and women that is often found in traditional folklore and mythology. The paintings feature women covered in feathers and other natural elements. One recurring theme is the owl, which is linked to the sensitive yet strong image of the female body. Feathers, on the other hand, are used as symbols of armour and strength rather than fragility. Find more of Amy Judd’s work here.
