Community Canvas is an initiative presented by The Culture Show where GBH features artwork from community members on our Digital Mural.
Today’s mural, Rain on the 4th by John Judge, is a portrait of his daughter Lily on a wet Independence Day when she was seven years old.
“As she stands in her Boston Red Sox shirt and holds an American Flag and a world-map umbrella, Lily alludes to the focus and scope of public media: local, national, and international,” Judge says.
Judge explores contemporary social and political issues in his pop-art-inspired paintings and drawings. Judge holds a Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York, and a Bachelor of Arts in American History from Columbia University.
