Carole Ann Danner

"I use formal value in my paintings. Formalism is a way to understand art in a different way. Formalism means that a painting is entirely determined by its form - the way it is made - in a purely visual, compositional way. Formalism means that as an artist, I can choose to emphasize compositional elements, like line, form, color, shape, and texture, rather than realism and content."

2017 Artist Statement:

This body of work was inspired by the landscape of the Fine Arts Work Center during a recent art residency.

I choose to emphasize compositional elements, such as line, form, shape, color, and texture.

As such, the work becomes a blend of realism and abstraction.

- Carole Ann Danner
