About this Event
Depicting the world around us goes to the heart of why humans make images. Annabelle Buck’s paintings are records of relationships with friends, family and environments that explore the gap between knowing and understanding. While negotiating her subject's character through its depiction, she recognizes that like her works’ audience she can only scrutinize her subject to the extent of her own limited understanding. Her images remind us that in our contemporary world defined by an information economy little interested in the values of nuance and subjectivity, an approach toward seeking understanding together, with shared goals and shortcomings, feels incredibly refreshing.
"I like to imagine a story in my head and I think you really get to do that exploring an image. I find myself attempting to experience other peoples’ feelings and emotions almost as if I’m experiencing them myself in some ways. It feels good to be engrossed in something. That’s what’s so compelling about it.” - Annabelle Buck
