New Work
About
Caroline Anderson is a Rhode Island-based painter and former art professor with an MFA in painting and printmaking.
Anderson’s work has a tactile, layered immediacy that expresses a passion for the physical act of painting. She mixes technical contradictions with visions of what it means to be human in times of permanent anxiety, particularly related to the climate crisis. There are ghosts, storms, fish, and bones.
The immediacy, physicality, and intuitive nature of conception and execution of the work is a kind of “anti AI” in that it originates in the human unconscious and its physicality cannot be produced or reproduced on a computer screen.
Exhibitions include the Cleveland and Columbus Museums of Art, Fargo’s Plains Art Museum, Washington DC’s New Art Center, and Chicago’s Judy Saslow, ARC, and WomanMade galleries. International projects include TransCultural Exchange’s Tile Project, consisting of 22 permanent public worldwide venues, including UNESCO Paris. Collections include the Dayton Art Institute, Nationwide Insurance, Metro Health Center, the Allen Bradley Corporation, and numerous private collections.
