Anne Muntges Art
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."
