Anne Wallace

Anne Wallace was born in the Midwest in 1954 and was educated in Wisconsin, Toronto and Denver.

In her own words… “The aesthetic of my work lays in it silence. I incite a solitary transaction between the spectator and the painting; a private and intimate meeting, encouraging an undisturbed absorption of image. Using the canvas as a single plane, I stress the two-dimensional character of painting and reject illusions of depth and gestured brushwork. I apply colors in blocks that span the entire surface, suggesting that the composition may be yet a detail of a larger field. The architecture of the canvas is divided laterally and horizontally into zones of color contrasting tonal relationships that impart an illusion of transparency and translucence.”

Wallace’s work is held in collections throughout the United States and Europe. She presently lives and works in the Denver area.
