Sigh… OVERHEARD… “I see a face looking left…I get a sense of a booming tree there…is this a picture of the world? What did you mean to paint? What does it mean? “ ME: None of the Above. I have upset several curators over the years. When artists prepare for an exhibition, whether a solo show or a group exhibit, there are some usual steps to follow. Some steps are rather obvious starting with the creation or gathering of the appropriate paintings that fit the vision of the curator for a given show. Artists also need to supply their bio, artist statement or curriculum vitae (CV), past exhibition venues, list of public collectors, awards, etc. The press usually wants to know where was I born, where do I live…how old I am… and other details that I feel have no real relation to the work. I confess I don’t enjoy answering these questions although I have. These are reasonable requests that form part of what artists do behind the scenes. I do my part and cooperate but often reluctantly or cautiously to not “paint” the artwork in the reader’s mind before they can see it for themselves. Whether we like to admit or not, we all have preconceived notions and interpret the world on that basis. We attach meaning to external factors about the artist that may have nothing to do with the actual art. The artist's story is relevant and important to help form a relationship with the art, but I sometimes wonder if that changes the way we experience the art. Case in point. I created a collection comprised of figurative work and installations that was featured as part of Amnesty’s International “Stop Violence Against Women” campaign. “Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Piece” which focused on “honor” killings was exhibited widely at venues that included The Steinbeck Center & Museum, The Palm Beach Armory and Brown University, among others. Many of those exhibits were described as feminist art. Is it feminist because I’m a woman artist? Because the installation depicted a woman? Women’s issues? Can you be a feminist artist if you’re not a woman? Are you a feminist artist if you only paint abstracts? Although the written word can serve to communicate aspects of artwork that might be otherwise missed, do artist statements and reviews limit art’s journey to the confines of those explanations? More often that not, I prefer to let the visual experience speak for itself. As an abstract artist, I find it challenging to explain my work. The how is easy enough, the why and the what, not so much. It’s not my intent to be obstreperous or to fuel an inauthentic aura of mystique around the artwork (although some artists do that quite successfully!). It’s simply that, I just mostly can’t. There are occasions when I have sketched out a painting, ideas, a theme, a thought or belief I want to portray. This is particularly true of my figurative work but my abstracts are…well…abstracts. To be clear, I love to hear the comments about what people see in my work. I often learn things about my paintings that I had not been aware of before until they were viewed through someone else’s eyes. But the truth is, I am nourished when people tell me they love the way my painting makes them feel. When working on commissions and custom work, I ask a lot of questions. Yes, color palette, use of white space, size, etc. are very important. But I ask a lot of questions about what the collector wants from the artwork. Is it for their office? Do they want energy and vibrancy from it? If for a living space, Is it for a bedroom? What mood do they want? When a painting finally speaks to me to let me know it’s done, without fail, I sit back and wonder how it got there. There are some elements that are intentional. I will often use “windows” to a brighter magical place we all need to escape to from time to time. My text is sometimes intentional but must admit I often need to read it back when I’m done because I don’t recall what was written. For the most part, it’s a stream of consciousness that takes over without premeditated thought. I recognize this has been a topic of discussion in the abstract world and sometimes controversial, but I can’t explain it any other way. If I stop working on a painting for whatever reason, I must wait until that painting “comes back to me” so it can be finished. Just like children, the paintings are of me and through me but not really mine. There are more questions than answers. I often wonder about the usually eloquent and elaborate intellectual explanations of abstract art. Are abstractions meant to be explained? Interpreted? Analyzed? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? Are they supposed to represent an artist’s state of mind or intention? Are the paintings meant to be experienced through the art critic’s lenses? I am a visual being. I don’t see things in abstractions, I see abstractions in things. I can try to communicate a state of being for a collection but not individual paintings. It’s not about what I intended, it’s not about what I may see (mostly not see) – It’s about the viewer’s experience to what’s on the canvas. If I must acquiesce and give it a label or an intention, whatever your reaction is, good, bad or indifferent, that is what was intended. Anahi DeCanio

The group exhibit organized by Alex Nuñez and Julie Lyons included 9 artists of various backgrounds and at different stages in their careers. The two abstract mixed media paintings exhibited by Ms. DeCanio were very different in nature and style. “NY Love Letters” honors the rich vibrancy of the city as represented by brilliant textures and colors with a subtle but noticeable graffiti styled typography in the background. The gold “window” often found in Anahi DeCanio’s work signifies a path to brighter opportunities and moments of self-discovery. “Pasajes” is a mixed media abstract collage specifically created for the artist’s solo exhibition at the Consulate General of Uruguay in New York City held in conjunction with a celebration of Uruguay’s Independence Day. The piece references some of the artist’s experiences and memories from early childhood in Montevideo. She used tools that belonged to her parents to make some geometric markings and cutting the collage elements. Ms. DeCanio is active in the thriving arts community across Long Island and New York, both exhibiting and volunteering. In her art practice, she has gallery representation and works closely with interior designers and real estate developers.

Here is additional information about the museum as described on their site. Nassau County Museum History Most of the Museum’s 145 acres originally belonged to William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878), long time editor of the New York Evening Post, and also a poet, lawyer, conservationist, political activist, and patron of the arts. In 1843 Bryant settled in his Roslyn home, Cedarmere, on Hempstead Harbor, adjacent to the Museum. It became an intellectual and cultural center for some of the greatest minds of the mid to late 19th century. In 1862 Bryant built a Gothic Revival board guesthouse on his Upland Farm, now the Museum property. Named for his friend and fellow poet, Jerusha Dewey, who was a frequent visitor, the cottage was restored by the Roslyn Landmark Society in 2011. Early Years In 1900, Lloyd Stephens Bryce purchased Bryant’s Upland Farm and commissioned the architect and tastemaker Ogden Codman to design a neo-Georgian mansion on an elevated site overlooking Hempstead Harbor, now Nassau County Museum of Art. Bryce is best known as editor and owner of The North American Review, a forum for international opinion on social, political, and cultural affairs. In 1919 Henry Clay Frick, co-founder of US Steel Corporation and world famous art collector, purchased Bryce House as a gift for his son and daughter-in-law, Childs and Frances Frick. They hired British architect Sir Charles Carrick Allom to redesign the facade as well as the interior of their new home, which they named Clayton. The grounds at Clayton developed by the Fricks were among the foremost landscapes in America. Childs Frick (1883-1965) graduated from Princeton in 1905. Always interested in natural history, he later became a renowned paleontologist, leading or sponsoring scientific expeditions all over the world, and writing numerous books and articles. After a long relationship with the American Museum of Natural History, where he was a Trustee and honorary curator, Frick donated his unprecedented collection of over 200,000 specimens to the museum and endowed it with $7.5 million. To accommodate the overflow of specimens from his lab at the Natural History Museum, Frick built the Millstone Lab in 1936. The building was named for two colossal millstones placed by the entrance. Renovated in 2017, it is now The Manes Education Center. Childs Frick was also an avid sportsman and lover of the outdoors. At Clayton he and his family enjoyed swimming, tennis, polo, golf, and skiing on his estate, which included two tennis courts (one grass and one clay), a polo field, two ponds for skating and canoeing, a shooting range, a swimming pool, bridle paths, and a ski slope with its own snow making machine. The family’s love of animals and the outdoors included a large animal zoo with a bear pit, snakes, and an alligator, an aviary, a monkey house, and otters in a pond. In keeping with his scientific interests, Frick created the Pinetum in the 1920s, opposite the laboratory. This was an experimental planting of hundreds of conifer specimens from all over the world to study how these species would adapt to this particular latitude. About half of them survive today, including coast redwoods. Childs’ wife, Frances Dixon Frick, shared her husband’s enthusiasm and interest in botany. She was an avid gardener, and retained Marion Cruger Coffin in 1925 to redesign the formal garden. Frances and Childs Frick lived at Clayton with their children, Adelaide, Frances, Martha and Clay, for almost 50 years. Childs died in 1965 at the age of 81. Four years later the estate was purchased by Nassau County to establish the Nassau County Museum of Fine Art, administered by the county’s Office of Cultural Development. In 1989, the Museum became a private not-for-profit institution, governed and funded by its own board of trustees. A major exterior restoration of the historic mansion was undertaken some years ago; the mansion was then renamed the Arnold and Joan Saltzman Fine Arts Building. A sculpture park was also begun in 1989 and became one of the largest publicly-accessible sculpture parks in the Northeast. JUNE 12, 2021
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Anahi DeCanio will be exhibiting new abstracts at William Ris Gallery on the Northfork in Long Island’s wine country. William Ris Gallery is kicking off it’s Summer 2021 season with WORKING IN SYNCHRONY. The exhibit will include artists Anahi DeCanio, Kurt Giehl and sculptor Katherine Stanek. After a long year of virtual exhibitions, an in-person exhibit is welcome news for artists and collectors alike. ADDITIONAL EXHIBIT INFO BELOW WORKING IN SYNCHRONY The show will highlight work by Anahi DeCanio and Kurt Giehl with sculptor Katherine Stanek. Anahi DeCanio is an award winning multidisciplinary artist using mixed media, photography, collage as a form of expression. Her complex abstract landscapes encompass layer upon layer, each awaiting exploration. As viewers dive deeper into the works, subtle details that might have been missed upon initial glance are unveiled. Graffiti like elements and text, in combination with Zen and gilding with occasional collage elements produce a vibrant energy creating unexpected arresting works. Anahi’s work has exhibited widely in venues such as The Boca Raton Museum of Art, Brown University and The Steinbeck Museum. Her work has been published and is part of national and international collections. Kurt Giehl was drawn to the Hamptons for the amazing light and natural beauty. His seascape paintings highlight the subtleness horizon – where air meets land meets water. Each painting is orchestrated to not only capture the physical beauty of Long Island’s East End but to also capture a state of mind, atmosphere and aura of the images captured on these fishing trips. Katherine Stanek has worked in bronze, stone and marble. She became intrigued by the versatility of concrete and began to explore the medium further and developed her own mixtures and formulas enabling her to manipulate the material in a way that works with her personal aesthetic. This marriage of content and craft has gained the attention of collectors and artists alike as she has been invited to exhibit her unique concrete sculptures in museums, galleries and sculpture gardens throughout the United States.
