Judith Nem's
Budapest, 1948
Joins the international art scene in Paris in 1992. From 1993 until 2000 she is co-editor of the art periodicals Parisiens Hongrois, Revue Enveloppe and Revue d'Art 90o, founded by Joseph Kadar, a Paris-based artist of Hungarian origin. Nem's takes part in organizing various international art biennals.
Post-Mail Art, as an independent effort, was launched in 1992 in Budapest on the occasion of an exhibition at the Kassák Museum. Nemes participated with a great number of mail art works displaying new potential directions. She remained continuously present at international Mail Art shows, for instance in Canada, The Netherlands, France, Hungary, Danemark and Sweden.
In 2000 she donated an important series of Mail Art works from her own collection to the International Mail-Art Museum in Hajdú-Bihar county, Hungary.
She was an active participant in the livre-objet (object-books) movement both as exhibitor and as organizer. Several museums have her livre-objets in their collection.
She was involved in a variety of graphic projects, such as electrographics, computer art and serigraphy, and exhibited at several relevant biennals, for instance in Berlin, Budapest, Hajdúszoboszló, Szombathely and Seoul, as well as at the Cracow International Print Triennials.
Working in the above branches of art was a sort of auxiliary activity next to painting - her main field. She paints abstract geometric images by the horizontal and vertical permutation of a finite number of unit visual elements. The seemingly simple permutations provide different emphases for each element; this effect is further amplified by the application of pure colors.
The paper works - such as painted paper reliefs fixed to a wooden base - balance between painting and sculpting. These works look like paintings from near but by distancing them and placing them into the three-dimensional space a new feeling is generated. This provides a totally different sensation under varying light conditions. The title of the paper reliefs refers to music as well as the search for symmetry and asymmetry, point and counter-point, rhythm and harmony.
In the spirit of the so-called Recup' Art, Nem's applies collage and painting on old boot-trees. These works are again at the interface of painting and three-dimensional space.
Recent works by Judith Nem's are presented in two subsequent volumes published in 2006 in Hungarian and English, as well as in German and French, respectively.
The artist lives in Paris.
