Anne Furk

Anne Furk is a self-taught artist rooted in the principles of transcendentalist art, giving expression to her intuition and innate experience of the moment through drawing.

Being intrigued by the concept of simplicity as a tool to create dynamic, contrast and aesthetic appeal – as well as believing that simplicity is an important antidote to our world of breathtaking speed and complexity – she both finds and gifts calm through her art.

Embedded in stillness, her drawings emerge through intuitive spontaneity, playfulness and being fully embodied in the moment.
Ink corresponds perfectly to her form of expression - being both capable of translating her fast and spontaneous impulses as well as precise detail work. She primarily draws on Japanese paper, but also experiments with drawing on biodegradable masses, found objects, canvases and walls.

She is currently working in two different series – ‘annelunda’ and ‘Wesen’.
‘annelunda’ is an absolute minimal expression playing with dynamic and equilibrium.
These drawings create a dance between black and white, precision and impulse, contrast and harmony.
They work both in small formats and wall-sized pieces.
‘Wesen’ are lightweight, dynamic beings, carrying an ethereal essence of move...
