Profile of Judith Supine
My professor from my English 101 class decided to assign our last project on a research paper regarding art work of only living artist for instance, an artists' that’s: a painter or sketcher. Also, she wanted us to do a profile research about the artist. In my opinion, I am not really a big art fan but for some reason when my eyes came up with the artist by the name of Judith Supine art work. I was just caught in the moment of just looking at his art work images, I got to view You Tube interviews, and reading other peoples comments about his work. Clearly, it made me feel the same exact way, like how the other people were expressing their opinions on his art work.
In his profile indicates that he was born and raised in Portsmouth, VA: Judith Supine is an internationally renowned collage artist living in Brooklyn, NY. Using an exacto knife, glue sticks, cheap paints and pictures found in magazines he creates works inspired by his imagination that he pastes all over cities billboards around the world.

Judith Supine is an artist in his late thirty’s. Supine could not speak until a month after his seventeenth birthday. He could not physically pronounce words, he could only squeak and mumble. Also, Supine often drew imagines to speak with his family. His mom set aside all of his pictures in a portfolio to keep for her memory. This shows one of the many reasons why his mom is great and special to him and thank her on who he became to be throughout his career. www.artnet.com/artists/judith-supine
Judith Supine uses materials that are free and/or at least real cheap. He uses an exacto-knife, glue sticks, cheap ugly paints and real sleazy magazines pictures that make him sexually uncomfortable. Judith Supine gets his magazines out of people's trash, the public library, the dentist's offices, his little sister's magazine collection, and bankrupt porn shops. http://www.woostercollective.com
When you look at his pictures you feel a sense of reality of none life objects that are very bright colors to portray images with none object material. He uses a female face that looks like as if she is crying. One can see flower plants coming out of her eye lends and mouth. And he uses her face, eyes on top of her head representing a hat with a high of more flowers plants on it. All these are combined with very bright dark colors. Colors that he mixes and matches: bright red on her lips combined it with green colors on the plants. Her hat is a dark black with teal blue above her hat with forest green plants. Her eye balls were dark green and around her eyes are purple. All the flowers were hot pink. He plants the faces features as neon green making the pictures glow in the dark.
His art work is “Hyper Active Imaginations” of female and male portrays with his imagination of cultural pictures. He showcased in 2007 collages of “The psychedelic and surreal canvases.” He states “His high Light Street Art and his characters are controlled confusion and disorder, stream of consciousness to the environment.” It portrays Judith Supine as energetic and innovative person because of his creativity on his art collages.

In my opinion, I really enjoyed researching and learning about his work. I found his work very appealing. All it took was for me to find him online and do some research. During the time, I found his pictures very impressive and entertaining. Judith Supine collections of Wooster inspired me to choose him as my artist to do my research paper on.
News Letter
Throughout the research on my artist Judith Supine, I had been realizing that he tends to express two types of ideas that symbolize his Art work images. One force he to identify his Art as street Art in the streets of New York and another is inside Art galleries that his Art pictures locates inside of. One of the ideas is that Supine shares similar ways tore an artist by the name of bell hooks. They both share this idea which it is called defamiliarization of Art. The meaning of De-familiarize is or ostranenie is the artistic technique of forcing the audience to see common things in an unfamiliar or strange way. Judith supine is a very unique individual but very random in his own ways to express his pictures vision on what he is trying to say from his imagination on how his mind works when he creates his Art pieces. Supine expresses reality through his painting to the world by hanging his paintings in very odd places to get people’s attention. He gathers and cuts certain pictures from catalogs and magazines and glues them to form certain patterns in black and white most of the time from scratch. Then, he build’s his creativity vision in his head to ending up making a very beautiful paintings hanging around NYC. Judith supine identifies his Art as street art because that is where he displays his work most of the time through his days working and most people notices his work in the streets then the galleries.
The second idea that Judith supine uses in his Art work is called infectious. Supine relates this idea from an artist by the name of Leo Tolstoy. Infectious to contaminate or corrupt: envy that infected their thoughts; a society that was infected by racism or to affect in a contagious way, for example "His fear infected me, and I followed as fast as I could" (W.H. Hudson). Judith purposes were to share his imagination with society and talent to the world by posting and selling his work online and galleries. “Art is a human activity consciously in this that is one man consciously, by means if certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he was lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings and also experienced them. Quoted by Leo Tolstoy!
