J. Thrush

Hungarian photographer Judit Rigó, also known as J. Thrush, presents the beauty of the natural world through the lean line of a tree, the diamond-like brilliance of an icy day. Her scenes are full of spatial depth, the camera moving the viewer deeper into an ecstatic space. Thrush grew up in the Hungarian countryside and her intimate connection with nature, combined with an artist’s eye for form and perspective, makes her work serene yet mysterious; she beckons us off the well-worn path, to consider the road we did not choose as something more than a dalliance. Her landscapes are beautifully balanced and barely contained, full of rhythm and lush with the hues of nature.

Thrush began seriously photographing while she was a teenager. Her goal has always been to capture the simple loveliness of the world around us. She has exhibited her work in Hungary and lives and works in Gyöngyös, near the Matra Mountains.
