MyersAnna

Anna Myers is a self-proclaimed “abstract surrealist” who earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Lamar University in 2009 under the mentorship of Professor Meredith “Butch” Jack.  She is known for creating both sculptural and two-dimensional depictions of strange, alien, organic forms. Her pieces offer the viewer a glimpse into an otherworldly realm or dreamscape.

Artist Statement:

Art exists to elevate the average human’s experience…a sacred realm serving as a gateway through which any person can transcend the mundane. By means of stygian outré images, this artist hopes to evoke that transcendental experience.

In keeping with the traditions set by the Symbolists, charcoal depictions present the audience with a glimpse into a totally foreign domain.  Set in a gloomy twilight dimension, unrecognizable figures desperately reach for the faint glow of dimming celestial bodies.

With the passage of time, these environmental manifestations have been transformed.  Extracted from their picture plane sanctuary, they have been adapted for corporeal interaction.  These effigies bridge the gap between two diametrically opposed worlds.
