Anne Middleton [Pintora ]

Anne Middleton -Natural de Dandenong, subúrbio da cidade Melbourne (Austrália), Anne Middleton é pintora contemporânea que mescla em suas composições interessantes e curiosas técnicas essenciadas em princípios que dialogam de maneira tão intensa quanto sincera com o Barroco e o Renascentismo.

Suas pinturas caminham por um inteligente movimento em que se apresentam inspiradas em seu pai, Max Middleton, icônico pintor australiano e demais investidas como pintura à têmpera de ovo e pintura sobre vidros, dentre outras. Como resultado, Anne Middleton alcança em suas composições incríveis níveis de detalhes, cores meticulosamente trabalhadas em inúmeros graus de profundidade e uma transparência sem parâmetros se comparada à pintura clássica atual.

Com um portfólio tão rico quanto complexo disponível em seu portfólio oficial on-line, muito mais das obras de Anne Middleton também podem ser contempladas em sua galeria homônima situada na Austrália, visto que a artista também pode ser encontrada em exposições e exibições recorrentes pela Europa, bem como América do Norte como um todo.

Anne Middleton Gallery was established in 2003 by artist and founding Director, Anne Middleton.

Anne grew up in an environment surrounded by art and beauty. Her childhood was spent in the forests of the Dandenong Ranges surrounded by the paintings of her father, Max Middleton. Max is regarded as one of Australia’s iconic oil painters, and both father and daughter share a fascination with painting natural form. Max and Anne’s paintings have a strong local and international following.

Anne has a particular interest in the classical painting techniques of the Baroque and Renaissance periods. In 1995 she studied traditional Fresco and Egg Tempera painting techniques in Italy. Her current paintings utilize European oil glazing techniques, which involve the use of many layers of transparent oil paint to build incredible colour intensity and luminosity. In 2004, Anne was the first Australian to be awarded a Fellowship from the prestigious Bogliasco Foundation in Italy.
