Painting
Valerie Jaudon is an American painter known for large-scale geometric abstractions constructed from interlocking linear patterns and symmetrical grids. Working primarily in acrylic and oil on canvas since the 1970s, her compositions employ bold color contrasts and architectural precision to create optical complexity and visual rhythm. Her work emerged from postwar abstraction and engages with pattern, symmetry, and the decorative traditions often marginalized in modernist discourse.
