Anne McAlear: Shape Shifter Episode #20

          Exploring Art for 50+ years has proven to Anne MaClear that painting will always have it's challenges, and new ways of seeing. MaClear looks to find unexplored avenues to go down that provide new opportunities. Having the educational framework in her bones of numerous classes ranging from pastels, oil stick, embroidery, encaustic, wax, oil, and textile to name a few.      From her admiration of fellow Artists Mark Rothko and Robert Motherwell - two pioneers from the Modernist art movement; more specifically Pop, and Abstract Expressionism.  MaClear punctuates her practice with flourishes from these two Artists. So subtly and pervasively, that they have an uncanny resemblance, but one that is not inherently obvious. This is a skill Anne has developed over decades in her creative practice.Join me as we discuss the mediums, the message; what being Canadian addsto her practice, and what a little bit of chaos brings to artwork.  How titles are chosen; and how often people assume Abstract Art is easier, when in fact it is quite the opposite. Anne shares how and why she is intrigued to take on this style.Connect with Anne MaClear: https://propellerartgallery.com/members/anne-mcalear/Podcast Credits:Anne MaClear/Carolyn BotelhoAudio Links from: Adobe PodcastPodcast by Carolyn BotelhoThank you so much for listening to The Creatively Thinking Podcast!
