PATTERN PLAY PAINTER AND PRINTMAKER DOROTHY STITES ALIG’S ART BRINGS A SERIES OF DOTS AND PATTERNS TO LIFE, CREATING SUBTLE FORM TO NATURE-INSPIRED ABSTRACT PIECES. ALIG’S EXHIBIT, THE ANTHROPAUSE, RUNS THROUGH NOVEMBER 30 AT VIVID ART GALLERY IN WINNETKA. BY MOLLY GEORGE THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
Indianapolis artist Dorothy Stites Alig’s latest exhibit, The Anthropause, takes large inspiration from the simple small joys found in nature—happenings and observations that unless you’ve taken a moment to pause, you may not otherwise notice. Her abstract art is a combination of painting and custom silkscreen printed patterns. The name of her exhibit is a word recently coined and brought into the American lexicon: “anthropause” is used to describe the slow-down and pause across the world as a result of a global decrease of human activity, particularly travel, that came about due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Alig’s abstract paintings in this exhibit—which runs through November 30 at Vivid Art Gallery in Winnetka— feature subtle references to wildlife through silhouettes and subtle figures hidden throughout her landscapes, as well as motifs inspired by the day-to-day happenings in nature that we wouldn’t usually detect. Because of the anthropause, Alig did take notice and is now ready to share her viewpoints with a wider audience. Continued on PG 10
