ANNA GLYNN | AMUSEMENT
Wednesday, May 14, 2025 - Sunday, June 1, 2025
Frances Keevil at Studio W - 6 Bourke St, Woolloomooloo Wed - Sun, 11 - 5
“Amusement - a tantalising glimpse into the art and mind of Anna Glynn.
The invitation here is to look. To look closely. Look very closely, for there is a sleight of hand at play here. Do not let your eye or mind be deceived by pleasing, playful appearances. These are deeply serious works drawing on immaculate intellectual, historical and environmental research. Glynn is an artist willingly, and very ably, taking an unflinching look at European ways of seeing and thinking about Australia since colonisation.
Standing in front of Glynn’s works in this exhibition you may find yourself having an Alice-Through-the-Looking-Glass experience, entering a strange world, complete with giant chess board. It may be unnerving at times but you will be rewarded in ways impossible to predict.”
