Artist Talk: Anne Appleby

@ The Art Institute of Chicago

111 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603

Opening Wednesday, September 20th, from 6PM - 7PM

@Fullerton Hall, RSVP here: https://scaaic.org/programs-and-events/anne-appleby

Anne Appleby visually distills the natural world. Her landscapes—reductive, delicately-layered, almost monochrome canvases—and intricately rendered figurative images are the result of extended considerations of her surroundings in rural Montana. She notes the life cycles of the varied flora, the shifts in weather and atmospheric conditions, and the changing of the seasons, letting her observations activate subtly dynamic paintings that confront humanity’s complex relationship with nature and exude a deep sense of spirit.

Join Appleby and abstract artist Caroline Kent for a discussion of her extraordinary practice.

Caroline Kent creates work noted for the complex abstract geometric vocabulary she has developed, which speculates on both the potential and the limitations of language, and ultimately questions the modernist canon of abstraction.
