Children’s Games

1985

Cordeaux returned to painting with Children’s Games, 10 large works in acrylic and enamel on hardboard. These were shown at the Dux de Lux, Christchurch Arts Centre, 29 May-25 June 1985.

Cordeaux writes: “My friend, Jennifer Quérée, photographed me working on a painting for this series at the kitchen table in my Lyttelton cottage.”

“Judith’s childlike images and colour embody the fantasies and the sometimes-cruel games of the kindergarten-age group, which are often carried into adulthood. One work [“Two-faced Cat"] was recently selected for the BP Art Award exhibition and is among a group to tour the North Island in the next few months.” (Christchurch Star, 4 June 1985)
