Anna Salamon (b. 1984, Warsaw) works across painting, printmaking and drawing, exploring material gesture in relation to subtle notions of immateriality and time.
Salamon’s paintings present the viewer with apparently familiar forms, operating in an elusive, complex pictorial space. Whilst inevitably rooted in deep genealogy of painting as discipline, each work is developed “anew” with an attitude of receptivity and alertness to instants of painting, without reliance upon specific visual source material. A persistent sense of movement is present across each series of works, creating two-fold experience of continuity and disjunction.
Salamon’s paintings and prints are mostly exhibited with sensitivity to site, addressing specifics of a given architectural situation.
