The paintings of Jewish-American artist Judy Zimbert are made from the application of multitudinous layers of paint. As many are removed as restored in Zimbert’s attempt to capture the ambiguous nature of existence and infuse each piece with all the emotions felt and experienced within life’s moments. Each work is original to Zimbert’s experiences of summers in Michigan, life in her own neighborhood or travels to distant lands. Inspired by the post-war angst of such painters as Lucien Freud and Frank Auerbach and the German Expressionist art movement, Zimbert’s paintings use symbolism to evoke meaning as well as human traits, to express intensity, place and mood. She aims to translate the emotional quality of everyday and current events and to weave a visual narrative for her viewer, inviting that viewer to immerse himself or herself into a a shared emotional experience. Judy Zimbert currently lives and works in Beverly Hills, California.
