Artist: Anne Barnes
Using cultural cues and collected ephemera absorbed from her world, Anne Barnes creates artworks that are process driven and that collaborate with chance. By combining a high-keyed color palette, expressive gesture, and symbolic mark-making, her multi-layered work is grounded in the informality of the unstructured painterly mark and the unadulterated visual language of graphic form. The result is the abstracted visualizations of Anne's memories, emotions, and varied perspectives that merge to become metaphors for exploration into themes of human nature, popular culture, feminism and motherhood. Her intention is to leave a trace of the artist in all that she creates and to connect with the viewer through the empathetic power of language, chroma, and vivid mark-making.
