Painting - Watercolours
Artist Information
The noted artist, Judith Laws is well
known for her vibrant and exciting
paintings and now a superb 'coffee
table' art book on her work has been
released.
This 112 page book has over
60 colour images and was written
and designed by artist, writer, tutor
and adventurer, Rex
Backhaus-Smith, who has been
involved in the production of a
number of art books.
The book has been launched in
conjunction with an exhibition of
Judith's recent work, most of which
are featured in the book.
The book gives an insight into the
creativity, thought processes and
sources of inspiration of this unique
Queensland artist. The paintings
speak vividly, not of conventional
superficial contours but in glowing
terms, to reveal the special charisma
of the Australian countryside. This
extremely innovative artist has
emerged as one of our best
exponents of contemporary art.

"Looking at a Judith Laws painting is
like looking into the fiery heart of
Queensland opal". - Kate Collins
(Sunday Mail)
Judith Laws bases her art on nature,
but more as a point of departure into
a sensuous world of exuberant and
luscious colour. This highly creative
artist has emerged as one of our best
exponents of contempory art.
Inspiration comes from her years of
travel both in Australia and
overseas. The escarpments and
waterways of Kakadu, a bejewelled
marine world and golden beaches,
orange and red deserts blossoming
after rain, tracks and meandering
rivers, glimpses of the coastal
hinterland with its forests and pools,
and glowing nudes, - are all part of
her world of colour. Recent travels to
Morocco and Greece have given her
new inspiration, Morocco with its
arches and souks, coloured and
decorative and Greece of the Agean
blues. Judith has had 33 solo
exhibitions and over 40 combined
exhibitions in London, Canberra,
Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin,
Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast and
many urban and country areas of
Australia since 1979. Her work is
represented in corporate and private
collections in Australia, Canada,
USA, England, France and Japan.
