Anne Chu
Victoria Miro Gallery, London
22 May - 23 June 2001
American artist ANNE CHU's work was first seen in London last year in the group exhibition Raw at the Victoria Miro Gallery. The Gallery now presents Anne Chu's first solo exhibition in London. Using a variety of media including wood, bronze, urethane and ceramic, Anne Chu incorporates painting into unexpected materials.
"My interest is in the fusion of painting and sculpture so that the painting in the sculpture is intrinsic to the form making, not decorating it. This is a tradition that has been seen in many ancient cultures, but has not been thoroughly explored in our era." -- Anne Chu
Anne Chu's previous work has included Tang dynasty inspired, ceramic funerary figures, sculpted Asian and Western-influenced landscapes and luminous watercolours characterised by a subtle tension between abstraction and figuration. Recent exhibitions have included solo shows at a number of American institutions such as the Berkeley Art Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Dallas Museum of Art.
