Judith Dupree Beale's work embodies a fiercely authentic artistic spirit, pulsating with an internal logic that defies conventional categorization and instead invokes a deeply felt phenomenology of mark-making. Her approach to creating, expressed in her artist statement, emphasizes the primal thrill of initiating a piece. This commitment to spontaneity, to letting her marks breathe without constraint, makes her a significant voice in the landscape of contemporary art. Indeed, her pieces feel like physical manifestations of thought, moving dynamically across surfaces with an energy that feels both ancient and avant-garde.
