ABOUT THE ARTWORK
These collages were created first in the presence of a live model, working quickly, in charcoal and pastel, and again, later, alone in the studio, furiously tearing and pasting images from magazines, various language newspapers, print publications, and previous drawings. In this way, both in theme and technique, I am working with the intersection of disciplined control and randomized instinct. Observational drawing coexists with a myriad of selected patterns, colors, and images from media, assembled and pasted down like broad swaths of paint. Fifteen works from this series premiered at Welancora Gallery in Brooklyn, NY on May 11, 2019 in a solo exhibition entitled, "EnSamblage", an invented word referring to both a musical ensemble of parts, and a visual assemblage of elements. As a feminist artist, my first commitment is to painting other women, the human face, and figure. Whether working with figurative descriptions or with the abstract use of materials, I approach all my subjects directly and with abandon. Additionally, in my quest to discover and reveal what is most essential, the drawing aspect of these images is created with my non-dominant left hand. Audrey Anastasi

Audrey Frank Anastasi
United States
A curator, gallery owner/director, educator and arts advocate, Audrey Anastasi is, above all, a prolific and tirelessly dedicated visual artist. Her "ref-u-gee" series of forced-migration-themed artworks was shown 2022-23 in a solo exhibition at Brooklyn College Library Gallery in collaboration with the VMoA, Valentine Museum of Art, Brooklyn NY.. An accompanying monograph with 184 images is scheduled for publication summer in 2023. Following two back to back solo exhibitions from December 2017 through July 2018, Ms. Anastasi became immersed in a collage series which is scheduled to be exhibited at Welancora Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, in the spring season, 2019. Most of Ms. Anastasi's work focuses on the human subject, with boldly painted faces and figures. In these works, she prefers working rapidly from direct observation. Her figurative paintings since 1990, in her quest to discover and reveal what is most essential, are painted with her non-dominant left hand. In 2016, a book of her "Stations of the Cross" was published by SPQR press, ISBN: 978-0-9975306-5-0. She has an extensive history of solo and group exhibitions. Her work is in private and public collections, including the Valentine Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY, the Munson Williams Proctor Art Institute, Utica, New York, Museum Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, Brazil, Pfizer Corporation, NY, Avon Corporation, St. Vincent's Hospital Collection, NYC, and the Museum of Modern Art Photography Archives for the end-papers of Sirius Studies in collaboration Thomas Roma. Her portrait of Otto Neals was used for the cover of BREUCKELEN magazine, with a feature interview. Other recent publications include interviews in ArtVoices, and Art Book Guy. Archives include National Museum of Women in the Arts Library, Washington, DC., the Brooklyn Museum Library, Brooklyn, NY, the White House Curator's Archives, Washington, DC., the Library of Congress, Washington, DC., and Cindy Nemser, “Audrey Frank Anastasi”, catalog of paintings, ISBN: 0-9650442-0-3. In 2005, Ms. Anastasi and her husband, Joseph Anastasi founded Tabla Rasa Gallery in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
