The Messenger
In the work of North Carolina artist Anne Lemanski, man represents himself in a silent dialog with the animal kingdom. Behind the proficiency of their construction and seeming simplicity of their surfaces, her sculptures provoke serious existential themes. Each one has a presence, inviting or imposing.
For over twenty years, Lemanski has used animal imagery to address social, political and environmental issues. Her work has been profiled in major art publications and can be found in the collections of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and Mint Museum of Craft + Design.
The Messenger will be on view through June 2021 in the Special Exhibits Gallery.
