Pivot-Iafrate Anne | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

By choosing to focus on her painting, Anne traded her brushes for knives to work with the thicknesses of malleable acrylic paint. She likes a mix of medium ; the combination of collage, prints, etching and layers of glaze create a warm and colourful atmosphere. She uses different medium (preparations to change the consistency of the paint) and techniques such as collage or image transfer, associated with a succession of layers of paint applied with a knife and then rubbed or scraped. Working the material this way she seeks to achieve an effect of "passing time." Anne approaches various topics, often to mark a contradiction or an unusual situation. The theme of "inside / outside" industrial wastelands allows her to bring the past alive. She likes to represent what remains immobile, places haunted by the imprint of man.
