About the exhibition "She" In June 2013 Devoted To… gallery near Leeds was
a host to an exhibition by two UK based artists, First thing you notice is both artists’s
love of colour in its purest, most positive and powerful This artist-curated exhibition project
named "SHE" focuses on female aspects of being human, Sam Shendi is influenced by the art and
culture of his country of origin- Egypt. Anu Samarüütel When painting, she renders people and objects into a simplified form, almost a sign. She does not even try to make her subjects appear 3-dimensional, the aim is to turn subjects into a concentrate- using areas of colour, lines and proportion. Anu has recently started a new series of works called Zoom-in series. They look like abstractions but are actually close-ups of some previous works of hers. She often uses photography to archive her work process. Through that she discovered that some close-up frames looked like compositions of their own, so through that happy accident she started painting more Zoom-ins, consciously selecting the best angles and croppings. |
