Anne Marchand‘s work explores qualities of radiance and light reflecting an inner state of being. She investigates the boundless nature of the cosmos and realizes a connection between space and body as manifestations of the same universal energy.
Music, poetry and energy infuse her work with lyricism and mystery. Flowing processes arrest color, texture and movement in a dynamic capture of time. The visual language of her images journey through memories that reference sublime moments. Anne lives with her artist husband and creates her art from the US capital region of Washington, DC.
Statement
Abstraction is my inquiry into the nature of life. As a painter, I am fascinated by the emotional power of music and poetry. From the painting platforms of color and visual space, I explore universal currents and rhythms. Early on, I realized that fluid acrylic paints are the best medium to experiment with layering paint, texture and words. Meaning takes shape in this environment where I invent forms and shapes to convey energy and movement on the canvas. The work reflects a luminous depth contrasted with surface texture. Traveling is one of the ways that I gather resources and inspiration to take into my studio processes. The observer is invited to relate to these “visual song-poems” as joyous expressions of life. My current body of work reflects a fascination with inner and outer space and mystical poetry.
