Exhibition Highlight: “Anna Frants: Metamorphosis” at Gallery MC, Hell’s Kitchen

Anna Frants is a figurative painter I met by chance earlier in the Spring at TIME TO BE HAPPY Gallery on the Bowery. I was there visiting another great artist when I happened to spot Anna out of the corner of my eye dutifully working on an exceptional figurative portrait. We got to talking and hit it off in an instant, which made it all the more special upon being invited to her solo exhibition at Gallery MC.

As a kind of young career retrospective, I was able to appreciate the full sweep of Anna’s painting practice from the start of her career to her latest projects. Beginning with a fragmentary figuration leading up to her current work in high figurative realism, the human figure has been a staple of Anna’s art. One can look at her work and detect an inherent curiosity the artist feels when thinking about what it means to be a person. Some compositions offer idealized representations akin to historic saintly portraits while others capture the inner aura of a person.

In some of her most recent paintings, Anna not only portrays the exterior of a person, but also their interior … and yes, at its most anatomical form. Any kind of portrayal of écorché - representations of a figure without its skin - is almost always done with a scientific inquiry in mind, yet Anna’s écorché subjects still wield that perpetually youthful soulfulness found in her skin-clung subjects (although it should be mentioned that much of her understanding of human physiognomy comes from a time when she worked in a cadaver lab - practically a 17th Century art education at this point!).

Congratulations again to Anna for her brilliant show and thank you again for inviting me!
