Ann Chamberlin’s Graceful Paintings Free Opening Reception at Xaltemba Gallery Friday February 8th from 7 to 9 pm With assurance and great appropriation of reality’s various incidents, from every day themes to passages of political and social flavour, Ann Chamberlin’s painting takes place in a narrative field, revealing without ambivalence a special taste for telling stories and for making some characters stand out, which in some ample and uncommon scale, have to do with objects and conditions, at times intimate, at times explosive. Ann Chamberlin, becomes the hand of the elemental spirit that, in itself, contains the art but insufflates a point of view devoid of complexes and precautions. She enters naked (as art should be always) to the soul of worlds that she has been discovering for many years now. The artist looks on with nobility and justice though she is not fooled by the unspeakable human condition prone to baseness and violence, when not to ridicule and certainty. But her eye, here, is the eye of grace.
