Learning to Look Series Features Artist Kim Anno
Our featured artist for the month of March is Kim Anno. The piece you will find in the SAC is very similar to the one you see here. Kim paints in translucent oil on shimmering aluminum, layering thin washes of intensely glowing color onto the hard metallic surface to create, in her words, "a provocation between illusionism and abstraction." The gallery which will exhibit her work describes Anno's thin veils of paint as barely containing the inner light of the metal's cool, reflective surface, evoking comparisons to American Abstract Expressionist painters Morris Louis and Barnet Newman. The description continues, "Anno also works reductively, unveiling the surface as much as she veils it and marking out fine, loopy lines by hand that swirl casually over the picture plane, both implying and defying a fragmented narrative."
Kim is represented by the Marcia Wood Gallery on Walker Street. Her exhibition is showing from March 15 to April 21. For more information about the artist and to view her work, please visit the gallery's website at www.marciawoodgallery.com or call 404-827-0030.
We hope you enjoy her work in the Sports & Activities Center.
