2009 Anne Connell Catalogue
The catalogue of the inaugural exhibition of Anne Connell’s small paintings and works on paper at Stephen Ongpin Fine Art, illustrating fourteen works painted by the artist between 1994 and 2009. Connell’s small, exquisitely detailed paintings are characterized by a painstaking technique of oil and gold leaf on prepared panels, and display a rich vocabulary of motifs and influences that reflect her close study of medieval and Renaissance imagery. As a New York Times review of an earlier exhibition of her work noted, ‘Borrowing patterns and fragmentary images from Italian Renaissance painting for her small, lovingly made panel paintings, Connell creates a quietly luminous symbolist poetry that seems as once antique and post-modern.’ Out of print.
