Senior Exhibition 2011: Anna Skarstad
Skarstad’s approach to painting has progressed from making representational landscapes into abstraction. Abstraction allows the work to be “about the paint on the surface, and not the specific landscape being depicted,” she says. “It’s about how colors and forms interact.” Her work, she says, is “simply an experiment in complexity of mark making, diversity of stroke, building and rebuilding, and delicious color.”
