About the Artist
“I was raised in rural Oklahoma, on a dirt road in a farm house built by my great-great grandfather in 1907 near Porter, Oklahoma. I returned as an adult to live on that same dirt road, on family land, and it is here that I began painting objects in earnest. These are objects that I've found in my wanderings down dirt roads and small towns, at yard sales and flea markets: old radios, hand tools, coffee cups. I love their shapes and the stories they suggest when grouped together, evidence of human activity and complex relationships.
When I stopped painting people, I also moved away from traditional compositions and concerns with realism and depth perception. I began to see the paint itself as my primary focus, using repeated imagery to explore variations in line and color. My compositions became decentralized, with no one object holding more importance or significance than any other. I often paint on top of previous works, creating layered, overlapping imagery. Remnants of past paintings can be see seen peeking out from the underneath newer paintings.” — Annabelle Van Tuyl
