Ann Getsinger paints a world both within and outside herself. The paintings are a place of meeting where her imagination coalesces with meticulously rendered objects and landscapes, resulting in thoughtful and beguiling tableaux. The pastiche of dream-like scenes and hyper-realist execution reflects life’s integration of people and nature, past and present, and physical and metaphysical. The paintings are dynamic and bold compositions that reveal themselves in layers of exquisite detail, indicative of the way the artist experiences life—alert to the minutia of her environment and open to the infinity of her reveries. Careful looking is rewarded as objects in the foreground often give way to subsidiary narratives featuring flora and fauna.
