About the Item
Judith Berry’s paintings impart that simultaneous sense of belonging, uncanny familiarity and uneasy otherworldliness common in science-fiction geographies. You are left with the feeling that you have both been there before, and yet, are aware of the impossibility of knowing this made up place. Painted as if they are aerial shots of a parcel of land, the work reveals itself to be of a landscape much smaller in scale. For Berry, maintaining this tension in the perspective is an important aspect of the work, one that allows the viewer to imagine and re-imagine the subject to suit their own desire. A sense of déjà vu, and of reading an imaginary space, drips from the canvas.
Judith Berry was born in London, Ontario and grew up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax and spent one year in the Studio Program at the Banff Centre School of Fine Arts. She has had solo exhibitions across Canada in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Ottawa. Judith has also shown in numerous group exhibitions including exhibitions at the Musée du Québec and the Canada Science and Technology Museum. She has received funding from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and the Canada Council. Her work is in various collections including: the Musee du Québec, the City of Ottawa, the City of Montreal, the Royal Bank, and the Art Bank of the Canada Council. She has served as a jury member for the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and the City of Ottawa.

The Other
By Judith Berry
Located in Montreal, Quebec
The themes visited in this show stem from a desire to extend the vocabulary of my painting while forming a metaphor for the chaos of contemporary life.
The title, Escalade, has differing and complimentary functions in English and French. Continuing to paint, over a lengthening career, the medium poses more questions than answers. The title is a reference to my attempt to overcome these difficulties through the expansion of my painting language. The title also refers to the escalation of crises in the world at large. It is the larger picture in which I am a small person trying to make my way.
In a concrete sense, the title also refers to a strategy I have taken in a number of these paintings. That is, to re-examine very small paintings...
