SARATOGA SPRINGS — Spring Street Gallery welcomes Anne Diggory to share a collection of works called Near and Far.
The exhibit includes recent Adirondack paintings and hybrid works along with paintings of Southern France. In a celebration of seeing and painting, Diggory focuses on the magical and sometimes confusing juxtapositions of clarity and mystery in spaces that include the near and the far.
“Sometimes in hybrid pieces I introduce fragments of photography midway in the painting process, have the digital collage printed and then continue painting on the printed surface,” said Diggory. “The fragments extend the range of approaches to detail and introduce a level of dialogue about frozen moments and the transformation of information.”
An Artist Talk takes place 7 p.m. on Dec. 15, when Diggory will speak about how the approaches to detail, color and composition affect the expressive impact of the exhibition’s individual pieces. The exhibition will be on view through Feb. 10 with a Closing Reception and Discussion slated for Jan. 28, 2024, at 2 p.m.
Diggory has worked out of her studio in Saratoga Springs for 45 years. She is known for her combination of accurate detail with expressive painting and strong abstract structure – an outgrowth of education at Yale and Indiana University and many years of exploring and painting the natural world. Her work has been seen in over 35 solo exhibitions and 75 group exhibitions.
A portion of the sales of this exhibition will benefit the Saratoga Immigration Coalition Scholarship Fund. For more information, visit springstreetgallerysaratoga.org. Spring Street Gallery is located at 110 Spring St., Saratoga Springs. Tel: 518-290-0660.
