Artist Statement: Shane Anderson
My art is colorful, vibrant, lively, filled with interesting details and above all, fun. I take bright colors and bold forms to create works of art that invite exploration and spark conversation. They are a collection of characters, destinations and landmarks that as a whole depict a series of separate, but interconnected scenes. However, each of these individual figures and scenes in a painting portrays a small, specific facet of the overall experience. My art draws on both graphic illustrations and cartooning techniques while also maintaining the level of expressiveness and rigor found in fine art painting. The shadowing, modeling and brush strokes are intergrated with clean, sharp lines showing bold colors. These characteristics carry an urban quality. The techniques create a sense of narrative, as well as separating individual characters in such a way that it makes them feel as if they are leaping off the canvas. The Shane Anderson Art Gallery is located in Calhoun Square, 3001 Hennepin Avenue South, Minneapolis.
Other artists featured in the Shane Anderson Art Gallery are Josh Laucher, Andrew Stemig, Aimy Stemig, Lisa Rudolph, James Rudolph, Sean McKenna, and Marjorie Rose.
