Judith Angerman (aka, JELA) works in acrylics, oils, graphic art, photography and spray paint.
Message
While always creating art, Judith received her Masters Degree in teaching Braille. Self-taught, Judith started freelancing for art magazines and women's magazines, providing her own photos when needed.
After a few years, art became her focus. When asked about the switch, Judith says that writing, painting and art design are quite similar in cerebral planning and execution. The creative process is identical.
In the art world, Judith is on the Board of Museum of Contemporary Art Projects and is actively involved with the Museum of Contemporary Art and Los Angeles County Museum.
After having been represented by a gallery, Judith changed direction to connect with clients directly online with Instagram and Twitter (@jelartnet) and her website: www.jela-ousart.com, www.artworkarchive.com/profile/judith-angerman and www.spoonflower.com/jela-ous.
Statement
Giving up her expensive camera with heavy-to-lug lenses, Judith uses iPhone images and high resolution scanned objects to transform them into beautiful conceptual pieces.
One example of this is her lenticular photography.
What is a lenticular photograph? Without getting into the science, multiple images are captured and merged to give a unique viewing experience. This nexus of images adds illusions of movement. LEVEL is a lenticular showing a simple bubble sliding across encased in yellow liquid, back and forth... all in one photograph. Could there be a morsel of philosophy in that moving bubble? Did you see BLINK?
Another aspect of her work is spray painting. The Real / Fake Xian Warriors Collection and The Pink Brigade Warriors begin as dark gray lifeless replicas of once courageous Xian warriors. Through the imaginative use of spray paint, these figures come to Pop Art life.
Rock. Screw. Smoke. is one of Judith's latest projects. Simple elements of hardware and nature combine to create a balancing act.
This is how art evolves when an artist is open to creative possibilities. It’s a good thing.
