Gerry Judah - Paintings (2005-12)

“Judah’s paintings are a direct response to conflict across the globe, and the impact of that violence, whether it is the consequence of war or natural disaster. At the same time, he is fascinated by changing urban landscape, and his paintings explore the dynamic of construction and destruction.

His apocalyptic settlements constructed from scores of buildings, complete with internal structures, communications and water towers are fixed onto canvas, and then systematically destroyed. The ensuing rubble and detritus are scattered and fused onto a background of empty white canvas with layers of acrylic gesso to create silent ‘white on white’ abstract paintings.”

The Princess Mononoke stage adaptation has opened in London to sell-out performances and rave reviews. The play’s puppets and costumes are made out of recycled material, reflecting Miyazaki’s environmental message.

“The Hebrew word, the word ‘timshel’—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.’”

To My Banker Acquaintances

I have assailed you in much harsher terms than I do when I think of you as my neighbour. I don’t think that you ever stopped to analyse what you are really doing in your banking business. I think you are a gambler at heart, and gamblers have big hearts — Al Capone took from the rich and ministered to the poor; so did Robin Hood — only, dear sirs, you don’t minister to the poor.

Many of you have never reasoned that you are the croupiers at the roulette tables, and have been taught that it is part of the game to press your foot on the hidden pedal just in time to win the table’s take. Many of you have been stepping on the pedal never knowing that you did; because you were afraid to investigate, fearing that you might find your conscience and streak of honesty too big to let you keep walking on such treacherous ground.

I know that you reason as my good banker friend in Port Lavaca reasoned when he said to me: “You must not forget that there is a great deal of difference between a moral wrong and a legal right.” And maybe you have a true picture of banking and its evils, and say with Sir Josiah Stamp, “… but as long as the nation will let men do this thing, a man is foolish not to be a banker.”

I’d lay down my life for your right deeds; I would sacrifice your good esteem that I might combat a wrong.

I hope that within the immediate decade, you must cease forever to be bankers; and become what you stoutly maintain you are, “money lenders.”

Yours with deep regret,
S.W. Adams.
