Exhibition Review: Anne Lilly – Provincetown Independent
Anne Lilly was featured in The Provincetown Banner – “The Art of Anne Lilly Is Kinetic in Any Medium.” Her work will be on display as part of a group exhibition from Thursday July 9 – Wednesday July 22. Here’s an excerpt from the article as Lilly reflects on her transition from sculpture to watercolor:
“Intuitively, I was looking for a way for there to be movement without mass, and with as little form as possible,” Lilly says. “On paper, you can really move into that threshold very effectively.” Her works explore “systems of geometry that aren’t rigid but bounce your eye around in a way that is lively and not just deadly ordered.”
For example, Lucio, one of the watercolors in the Rice Polak show, uses gradients of color to create the illusion of motion. “I realized I could set a palette that was incredibly simple, not dealing immediately with issues of color or tone, and make things come into being, either vanishing or materializing,” the artist says.
