About
Mary ann Strandell

NY artist Mary Ann Strandell's works are a movable terrain between image, media and their myriad histories. She exhibits work in the US, Europe, Japan. Her exhibition, PARALLAX, opens November 6, 2015 at Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art, KC, MO. Her subject matter of architecture, nature, and chinoiserie shift vertiginous space with paintings and 3D lenticular media. This new work allows a “Time Travel” of the eye; transforming image, place and form into moving parts. Layers and adjustments of figure/ ground in her paintings give linear structures the sense of being re-built, in a descending or ascending manner. Especially in the recent works of the NY @Apple Store staircase, with their vestige homage to Marcel Duchamp's stop-motion studies. Her work has been written about in The New Yorker, Village Voice, Art Critical, Art Papers, The Kansas City Star, The St. Louis Post Dispatch, Oklahoma News, The Albuquerque Tribune, etc. Represented by Sherry Leedy, KC, MO; Deborah Colton, Houston.
