Judith Kindler: Leaving Traces on Venice’s Storied Walls
Judith Kindler transports viewers by reconfiguring visions of textured surfaces and graffitied walls of Venice, Italy, on to her own canvas. Through a mixed media process of layering original photography and painting, Kindler makes her mark on the city of which she draws so much inspiration. “When I go to Venice, I feel like it is home, familiar like, perhaps I lived there. Walking the streets and traveling in the canals in such a beautiful environment with the old architecture juxtaposed with the new art fills me with immense joy.” As a meditation on memory, Kindler initiates a dialog between her own iconography and the preexisting traces of history and time.
