Tom Judd, American Sublime

Opening Reception at J. Peeler Howell Fine Art

Saturday, January 18th, 2025 | 5:30pm - 8pm

Please join us at J. Peeler Howell Fine Art Saturday, January 18th from 5:30pm to 8pm for the opening reception of American Sublime.

In his first solo exhibition with the gallery, the Philadelphia-based artist, TOM JUDD presents icons of America in a selection of paintings that ponder the lore and myths of the modern dream and westward expansion.  His subjects are the finned convertibles of post-war prosperity; grain elevators and lone houses on wide prairies; of modernist homes with space-age rooflines. All promises of a “better today”. Judd’s particular realism is punctuated by his craft of painting that reveals his hand at work. The results are a type of American sublime through a rendition and capture of loss. Tom Judd is from Salt Lake City, was educated at the esteemed Philadelphia College of Art, and his work has been collected widely during the course of his fifty years as a contemporary artist.
