Annalise Neil
A Surreal Watercolor Painting on Mohachi Shikishi, "Molt"

2017

About the Item

A one of a kind 18" x 17" framed Surreal Watercolor Painting on Mohachi Shikishi executed by artist Annalise Neil. A certificate of authenticity will be provided upon its purchase or delivery. Neil’s cyanotype and watercolor works are conceptually driven, with inspiration coming from both recognizable subjects like nature and animals, to abstract, philosophical topics like quantum theory, perception, and time. In particular, Neil has been investigating the work of physicist Carlo Rovelli, psychologist and economist Daniel Kahneman, Professor of Forest Ecology Suzanne Simard, and essayist Rebecca Solnit. Starting with ideas prompted from research, Neil processes these topics in her sketchbook, writing down quotes and theoretical diagrams, which are then edited down to form the visual composition of the piece. Once she is satisfied with the visualization phase, Neil starts the cyanotype process: “Taking pictures throughout my extensive travels and time spent in nature has allowed me to build a library of images that I have subsequently turned into hand-cut, individual negatives. I have hundreds of them grouped into categories such as mushrooms, birds and plants, which I use to build my cyanotype compositions. After completing the photographic stage of the work–which often involves complex, sequential exposures–I may employ bleaching and toning to shift the color. I then use watercolor paint to sharpen and enhance formal qualities and to weave in narrative elements.” Neil hopes her work will help encourage public discourse around these topics, especially what it means to be human in an interconnected world: “… I am keenly interested in discussing states of awareness and connection. All properties of all things are relational, and life is only possible through a collaborative symphony—nothing exists independently. Every living thing is a complex, multidimensional universe that interacts with others to form a prismatic web of energy. I endeavor to create work that will lead to contemplation and reflection, and that invites a thoughtful examination of our relationship to reality and our surroundings.”
