‘Tracking Time’ exhibit, artist discussion at WCU
“Tracking Time,” an exhibition of paintings by Anna Jensen and Karen Ann Myers, will open with an artist discussion and reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 22, in the Fine Art Museum at Western Carolina University.
The exhibition brings together the work of two artists who create intimate, surreal and sometimes haunting psychological paintings of friends, family, lovers and conflicts, said Denise Drury, curator and interim director at the FAM.
Jensen’s laborious process combines references to art history, pop culture and natural science that ultimately culminate in personal chronicles representing the conflicts in her life. The women in Myer’s paintings are posed in her actual bed, but the rooms in her paintings are fantasies functioning as metaphors for an interior life.
The exhibition runs through March 27.
