MASQUERADE

JoAnneArtmanGalleryispleasedtopresent Masquerade, asolo exhibitionofnewworksbyAnnaKincaide.

In Masquerade, Anna Kincaide continues her ongoing conversationaroundfemaleidentity,femininity,andautonomy. Communicating emotion and narrative without reliance on the figures’ facial expressions, cascades of flowers cover her subjectstoconveyanonymityandtransformation.Theseflorals becomeKincaide’svehicleforrepresentingthefemalemindand theoften-conflictingideologiesandsocietalexpectationsplaced onwomen.

The incorporation of elements from Art Nouveau, the Vienna SecessionistMovement,andfashionphotographycombinewith the positioning and outfitting of each portrait to reveal socio-cultural emblems of status and identity, even in the absence of the face. While Kincaide redefines and breaks from theseandnumerousotherarthistoricalcanons,itisthedefining separation between the body and mind that creates the central theme in her work; the idea of the ambiguity between our physical bodies, personal identity and that private, internal space of the human mind, which expands and unfurls like a flowerinbloom.

Viscerally visible and tangible, this new series incorporates mixed media components from paper, fabric, and gold leaf applicationwithherchosenmediumofoiloncanvas. Anna Kincaide’s work will inspire, provoke, engage and mesmerize. With visual perceptions always changing, peek behindthestoriestoldandyou’resuretofindtherightartistic expression.
