Anne Loch

Anne Loch’s work is characterised by over-enlarged subject matter. By greatly magnifying otherwise innocuous subjects – like the flowers in this painting – she imbued them with an almost menacing or sublime quality: the flower heads contrast starkly with the blue background, bending in towards the viewer as if poised to burst out of the canvas. And yet the artist emphasised: “I’ve never seen anything sublime in my artwork, nor do I produce the opposite of the sublime.”
