'ART TAKES TIME SQUARE ''

ANNE LISE KAABY

“MAGNASCOPIC TRANSPLENDENCE”                                       MARCH 8 – APRIL 2, 2013

The German Expressionist painter Wassily Kandinsky stated, “Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, and the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.” The contemporary artist Anne Lise Kaaby’s unique style intermingles Avant-Garde techniques to create harmonious compositions brimming with prismatic color, topographic texture and surreal intrigue.

Anne Lise Kaaby’s expressionist style comprises an inter-mixture of inspirations and techniques, stating, “My expression is a combination of music, humor, surrealism and cubism. My working method is often mixed technique, where I combine acrylic and collage, creating a surface that is pleasing and brings the viewers’ attention to explore the several levels of this process.” Ms. Kaaby’s cubist inspiration combines both the analytic and synthetic periods, reducing figures to geometric simplicity and collaging found materials into the picture-plane. Her mixed-media creations echo musical melodies, where pools of kaleidoscopic colors comingle and juxtapose against bold, saturated lines forming geometric and organic shapes, dynamically building topographical layers engendering energetic textures that ignite the senses. Surreal figuration stimulates humorous scenarios, eliciting through poetic titles imagery of “Young Lovers” and “Lifelong Journey’s” through mysterious territories. Ms. Kaaby’s surreal compositions visually inspire viewers through her melodious brushstrokes, sensational color planes and enchanting compositional harmony.

The award-winning artist Anne Lise Kaaby was born and raised in Porsanger, Norway. The artist now works and resides in Dubai. Ms. Kaaby received formal art training in the United States, attending the North Light Art School, University of Houston and the Art League of Houston, Texas. She exhibits internationally, with group and solo exhibitions throughout Norway, U.A.E., and the United States including Texas and New York City. Her artwork is treasured in many public and private collections world-wide, and Amsterdam Whitney Gallery is proud to showcase the art of this contemporary artist.

Friday the 25th of January 2013

Artists selected for the London Art Biennale are invited on a Thames river cruise by the Chianciano Art Museum - 3pm to 6pm

The ship is called the Elizabethan and is the same vessel that was used by Kate Middleton’s family during the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth’s reign - a historic event that saw over 1000 ships, the largest ever fleet to travel the Thames. The ship is a perfect replica of an 1890s Mississippi Stern-wheeled Paddle Steamer and beautifully reflects the style and craftsmanship of that bygone era. The Elizabethan is one of the largest vessels on the Thames and will prove to be a perfect vantage point to see the wonderful London landmarks such as the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Parliament and the City of London.

In fact, the Anglo-Italian Academy of Art, in collaboration with the Chianciano Art Museum are inviting artists to absorb the colours and atmosphere of the water and of the sky during the journey. Artists have until the 31st of March to create an artwork inspired by London and one work will be used for the front cover of the Biennale of Chianciano 2013 publication.

You will embark at 3pm at Chelsea Harbour pier, near the Chelsea Old Town Hall and the Gagliardi Gallery. The ship will take you through London in daylight and will return after sundown so that you can see the landmarks in both the day and the night. You will then disembark at the Tate Britain Museum at 6pm - the museum closes at 10pm and will be a nice way to finish the day for those of you who wish to go.
