Anne Loch typically produced series of artworks – there are very few subjects that appear only once in her work. Her first painting of peonies was created in 1988 (see the opposite wall). In 1995, she developed a new series in which she zooms in so close to the multi-layered blossoms that the flower almost entirely disappears from sight. Are we really looking at a flower here, or a raging fire? We repeatedly encounter these kinds of deliberate ambiguities and obscurities in Loch’s work.
