About the Item

This abstract painting of St. Marks Cathedral in Venice, Italy is from the artist Kim Anno's "Grand Tour" series. A photographic image is inkjet printed directly on canvas-on-wood-panel and then oil paint is applied in a variety of methods. This series and includes images of Paris, Venice, Florence, Yosemite, Miami and San Francisco, among others. All of Anno’s imagery – cinematic, photographic, paintings – are painterly, with a sense of irony, beauty, and loss. The imagery throughout the various mediums speaks to a disruption with the environment, of iconic places, cities, landscapes, nature, that we all hold dear and ache to see marred, spoiled and endangered. The work is ambiguous with it’s tension between lyrical fluid painterly beauty and subtle implications of destruction. Kim Anno was born in Los Angeles, California and lives currently in Berkeley, CA, where she is currently a professor of painting at the California College of the Arts, San Francisco. She is a painter, photographer and video artist. Her work is marked by a sense of visceral and sensual color and fluidity, in figurative and abstract paintings, photography and video. Anno is also passionately devoted to expanding the function of art in society. In July 2012 she had a solo exhibition at the Goethe Institute in Johannesburg. Also in July 2012, her video work was screened at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, as well as in Cape Town, SA in “Letters from the Sky”.
