Oil Painting by Judy Glantzman
Oil Painting by Judy Glantzman

Glantzman’s current paintings, as described by Harris, are "intense, frenetic and visionary portrayals of her/our world." Glantzman creates vividly highlighted canvases of faces, hands, and feet captured in individual moments of emotional expression or action. The imagery, built up in thick layers of oil paint through a process of addition and subtraction, elicits the emotional response of Bosch and Picabia. "A cacophony of voices desired to be heard, these paintings can be seen as the inside of my head made visible," Glantzman explains in her artist’s statement. She continues later, "The paintings are worked over a long period of time. The repetition and repainting allows me freedom to form each figure without judgment - I choose to reveal myself but what is revealed can be scary. I try to be unafraid of my work."
