Press Release for Exhibit at
ARTsPLACE Artist-run centre 396 St. George Street Annapolis Royal, NS
“Corniche” Ann Clarke, RCA
18th September – 23rd October 2011 :


An accomplished artist with over 40 years experience, Ann Clarke, RCA (Royal Canadian Academy of Arts) has been invited to bring her exhibition “Corniche” to ARTsPLACE Gallery and Artist-run Centre in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia.


With the work in this exhibition, Ann Clarke continues to investigate her long-held interest in the dichotomy between flatness and illusion in non-representational painting. Fully engaged by these contrasts, her ambition is to achieve a balance between the tactile painterliness of the atmospheric ground and the hard-edged flat colour and geometry of the embedded illusionistic forms. Inspired by microscopic or fractal images, more often by the purely abstract , this direction employs apparently simple, but deceptively complex, shape and colour relationships.


The challenge of balancing a number of dualities - flatness, texture, illusion, geometry - in each painting is explored in an effort to reward the experience of looking itself and points towards an ongoing renewal in the development of abstract painting.
