Anya Spielman

1966
(USA) AMERICAN

Anya Spielman er en amerikansk abstrakt maler. Hennes arbeid utforsker konstellasjonen av binære krefter og former, og presenterer gjentakende to-delte bilder: spenningen mellom å vite og ikke vite, å bli sett og usett, menneskelighet og umenneskelighet. Hun bor og arbeider i Los Angeles-området.

utdanning

Anya Spielman studerte ved University of California, Davis, hvor hun fikk en B.A i 1989 med hovedfag i Kunststudio og bifag i Antropologi. Hun var student av Wayne Thiebaud, og etter å ha fullført studiene, fortsatte hun å bli veiledet av ham.

Teknikk

Spielman bruker oljemaling på lerret, papir og panel i ulike størrelser; hun jobber med opptil førti malerier om gangen, og beveger seg mellom dem etter hvert som hvert begynner å ta form, før hun isolerer et verk for å fullføre det. Hennes mettet overflater er lysende, med vekslende glatte og matte lag, men bærer også grove neglemerker som arr og dekonstruerer verket. Disse etserlinjene og merkene relaterer seg til et bilde og en idé, og er ofte den underliggende strukturen, det nedsenkede språket i et verk. Hennes bruk av rødt og rosa knytter seg til kjøtt og blod, og de lyse kremfargene, gule og blå i paletten hennes minner ofte om kroppsvæsker, og pulsen av liv.

inspirasjon

En nysgjerrighet for hva som ligger under overflaten drev opprinnelig Spielman til å tegne fra lik, og i konseptualiseringen av de underliggende lagene av en form ble det klart at disseksjonsprosessen er knyttet til maleriprosessen. En malers maler, hun er fascinert av fysiskheten i selve malerhandlingen, intensiteten av mettet farge og menneskelig motivasjon.

Samlinger

Spielmans verk er til stede i en rekke private og offentlige samlinger, hovedsakelig basert i USA, men også internasjonalt, inkludert den permanente samlingen til det amerikanske utenriksdepartementet, som anskaffet et 54"x124" olje på papir, "Weightless", som en del av deres Art In Embassies Program (AIE). Dette verket er utstilt i den amerikanske ambassaden i Monterrey, Mexico.

Utstillinger

Spielman har stilt ut omfattende i USA i solo- og gruppeutstillinger. Hun har også vist seg internasjonalt i gruppeutstillinger i Canada, Uruguay og Argentina. Hennes arbeid har også vært omtalt på ulike kunstmesser, inkludert Select Fair NYC, Aqua Art Miami, Art Fair 21 Köln, og Bridge Art Fair i London.

Spielmans malerier har også vært vist på de populære reality-TV-showene "The Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" og "The Bachelorette," samt i flere spillefilmer.
