Judith White's paintings explore the changing conditions particular to the Australian landscape. Judith says that “these paintings are not intended to engage in any environmental issues or constructs, but deal with space, shape and form in landscape.” Some of her works are presented from an aerial perspective, providing a unique vantage point from which to conduct her study of how the landscape has been cultivated and changed to suit our needs. Irrespective of the vantage point taken, her paintings are invested with an atmospheric visual energy,a movement of shape and form played out across the rich, tactile surface of the canvas. In her latest work, Judith has moved away from strategies such as aerial perspective and firm horizon lines into more meditative and abstract visions of landscape. The built up surfaces contain seemingly random linear mark-making and translucent pools of colour that bleed into each other and effectively conceal an unwavering structural coherence .

Judith White was born in Sydney, NSW. She trained at the National Art School, and received a BA degree at New England and Sydney University. She has exhibited extensively, both in Australia and overseas, including many successful solo shows. Judith has been awarded many prizes during her career, and her work was shown in the Wynne Prize in 1999. Judith was commissioned by the Sydney Olympics 2000 Organisers for a major public work. She is represented in many corporate collections throughout Australia, Japan, Holland, Israel, Indonesia and New Zealand.
