Anne Thompson: Paintings and Drawings

May 11, 2006- June 17, 2006

508 W 26th St

Hudson Franklin is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings and a large-scale drawing by Anne Thompson, on view from May 11 to June 17, 2006.

In her paintings, Anne Thompson takes the international symbols of sources ranging from the occult to the auto industry and employs them not as icons of communication but as abstract forms. The symbols are "camouflaged" into Op-Art color fields. In her gouache drawing, the symbols function as pixels to form geometric designs.

The symbols in the paintings are bold and assertive; in the drawings, they look like hieroglyphs. But in both, they remain enigmatic. What is usually a form of language becomes a tool for formal play with shape and color.

Anne Thompson received an M.F.A. from Yale University in 2002. This is her first solo exhibition with Hudson Franklin.

"...Ms. Thompson, who owns an M.F.A. degree from Yale, is not herself a cosmic visionary; rather, she playfully operates in a distinctively postmodernist gap between the rational and the spiritual...."
