About the Item

Prickly Pear 02, 2020 Acrylic paint marker, gesso, paint, foam, plastic, ceramic pot 32 × 6 × 6 in 81.3 × 15.2 × 15.2 cm This fantastic unique sculpture is currently on exhibition in the gallery's show "A Sense of Place". A Sense of Place features recent work by Roberley Bell, Augustina Droze, Richard Huntington, & Anne Muntges. This special online exclusive exhibition is a celebration of the work of 4 extraordinary artists who used to call Western New York home. Travel lust, adventure, and livelihood have taken each of these artists to distant places, including China, Mexico, Massachusetts, and New York City, but they will always be a treasured part of Buffalo's dynamic arts community. Acknowledging that a sense of place can be an element in any work of art, shaping or transforming it depending on intentions and explorations, Resource:Art is thrilled to present this selection of new work by each of these unique artists. Anne Muntges Drawing is my key to understanding the world I live in. Nothing I see becomes real until it has been explored by the line of my pen; everything I encounter becomes encased in my handmade marks whether it is on paper, wood panels or directly on objects. I recreate portions of the environments I inhabit by collecting the pieces of my daily encounters; urban and rural landscapes I walk, filled with discarded remnants or bursts of nature and manicured greens. My drawing captures the evidence of other people in these landscapes, by replicating the artifacts left behind and translating them to monuments and revered objects. Each artifact becomes a drawing and the thousands of drawings I create compose over time into larger and larger works. My obsessive process blends between 2D and 3D worlds. Traditional drawings on wood panel, board and paper are done with graphite or pen. Drawing sculptures are real objects that are primed white to create a new blank canvas for black drawn lines and patterns composed of acrylic paint or ink. The final works become interactive black and white worlds, with splashes of color, that immerse viewers into a drawn new world.

Anne Muntges

Anne Muntges is an artist who was born in Denver and based in Buffalo. Muntges makes highly detailed drawings, prints and installation art based on concepts of the home. Her work is currently on view in the exhibition Anne Muntges- Skewed Perspectives (June 13–August 9, 2015) at Big Orbit Gallery (Buffalo). Her work has been exhibited in New York at the Charles A. Gallery and Lilac Museum Steamship, in Chicago at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, in Buffalo at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, the University at Buffalo Gallery, Indigo Gallery and in Knoxville as a part of the Southern Graphics Council International Conference. She received a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from the University at Buffalo. Muntges completed a residency at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in 2013 and received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Artist Books in 2014. In 2015, Muntges was awarded an artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center. She states that "In my work, I use imagery of the home to question ideas about architectural space, the nature of our interaction with it and our perception of it. The home is an environment that creates an atmosphere and structure through its constructed elements and decorations. These elements directly inform my drawing and sculpture so that the pieces can challenge the way we think about the spaces we inhabit. My work exists in two different ways- two-dimensionally (panels or paper drawn with ink, paint, graphite, dirt, spray paint or screen-printing) and three-dimensionally (installations done by building home interiors to life-size, priming every surface white and drawing hatch marks.) My drawings add chaos to the domestic home by skewing perspectives of walls and doors, changing the layout of rooms by morphing them into human figures and abruptly inserting non-conventional architectural features. My installations challenge one’s sense of space by making three-dimensional pieces appear as flat drawings. The work is meant to disturb the order of perfection found in our home so that elements of grace are starkly contrasted with moments of discomfort."
