Ann Kipling
October 30 - November 30, 2014
-
Ann Kipling’s drawings record a vibrational liveliness. Her
mark-making is diligent, filled with energy and presence. In
her ongoing works of portraits this perception of energy is
especially acute. Every inch of space, empty or occupied, is
alive.
-
With the discipline that demands a balanced headspace and a
willingness to engage, Kipling acknowledges the restlessness
of creation while still dealing with the permanence of the
resultant art object. Kipling’s heads are recorded over
time. The sitter was required to pose in one position as Ann
Kipling recorded her impressions. She recorded the small
shifts in the movement of the sitter to produce the
portrait. In later portraits, she invited the sitter to move
and this change of position was recorded. It is an intense
cooperation between the sitter and the artist.

Ann Kipling was born in
Victoria,
British Columbia
in 1934. In 2008, Kipling received an Honorary Doctorate
from the
Emily
Carr
University in
Vancouver
fifty-three years after she attended the Vancouver School of
Art in 1955. Working exclusively on paper, Kipling has
established herself as an important figure in Canadian art.
Her work can be found in public and private collections
across the country.
