Anne Beinecke’s billowing pulses of color and energetic mark making flow from an automatic process and are developed through a marriage of spontaneity, deliberation and imagination. Her forms emerge and float together on a page as if in communion. There, they inhabit an unrestricted world that often straddles the abstract and representational. Driving Beinecke’s work is her fervent passion for nature which streams through in a rainbow of colors. Immersed in the natural world, the boundaries between inside and out blur, all life forms feel interconnected – and from these magical experiences, paint pours out onto paper.

In “Red Bull with Roses” the billowing pulses of crimson reds and sap greens belie a more threatening substrata of heat and blood – the existential threads that tie together the cruelty of animal exploitation in the meat industry with the callous violation of Earth’s lush landscapes, contributing greatly to the progression of the climate crisis. This work does not shy from the fact that for all creatures the heart pumps red blood, whether in light or in mourning.
