SUMMARY:Sidle House - Anne Hebebrand: A World that Is
DESCRIPTION:Show run MAY 1 – JUNE 13 \nIn his essay\, “Anne Hebebrand’s Serious Whimsy\,” Dr. Aaron Rosen writes that her paintings\, “manage to be at turns whimsical\, curious\, and enchanting. And\, at the same time\, incontrovertibly serious. Hebebrand’s works disclose—and for at least a moment\, encourage us to dwell within—the delight of the world. Far from being escapist\, they nudge us back into the world\, reminding us to seek out moments of wonder and delight\, even in unlikely places and moments.” \nThe season-opening exhibition at Sidle House presents work selected from Heberand’s cold-wax and oil paintings over the past seven years. She describes her prolific practice as\, “rooted in an intuitive process driven by a lifelong love of abstraction. These paintings serve as maps of memory\, where colors and shapes evolve organically to create their own universe. Using oil and cold wax\, I build\, scrape\, and rework the surface— layering and excavating until the moment arrives when the piece reveals its own history and depth.” \nI am delighted to welcome you back into the barn this May. Please join us for the opening reception\, and other related events to be announced! \nOPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY\, MAY 1st 6-8 PM \nGALLERY HOURS 3-6pm Thursdays\, Fridays & Saturdays (or by appointment). \nSidle House\n20 Bartol Island Rd\,\nFreeport\, ME\n512-771-1149\nsidlehouse.com
