Judy Nimtz is exploring the play between the human form, the natural landscape, and the built environment in these paintings. With this work, Nimtz veers from strict naturalism toward the poetic. The surroundings become frames for the figures, edges soften and disappear, and transparent passages emphasize the ethereal quality of the paintings. The flesh palette is purposefully high-key and desaturated giving the figures a marble-like sense of solidity.
