Anne Loch

Here, we see Anne Loch working on a small scale for a change. In 1990, she created a series of small still-life paintings depicting fruit, for which she repeatedly rearranged pears, grapes, cherries, stone fruit and occasionally flowers or leaves against a vibrant green background. But even here she managed to venture into the realm of the monumental. On the large canvasses, she increasingly reduced her fruit to elementary forms, such as rudimentary circles and ovals. This causes the visual space to lose its depth, and the resulting compositions appear increasingly flattened.
