Anna Moser received a BA in Art and Literature from Yale University in 2011, an MPhil in Criticism and Culture from Cambridge University in 2012, and a doctorate in English from New York University in 2020. Anna’s paintings and collages take the form of small-scale abstractions that flirt with references to landscape.
“I am interested in the limits of recognition and understanding, and the yearning to transcend these limits – a tension that the horizon symbolizes throughout history. The horizon always recedes from vision; it is a lure, but also a prohibition — a figure for desire, which I paint towards. Desire produces a tension, a gap between reality and ideality. I aim to mine this interval in my work, unsettling the refined aesthetic of minimalism with unevenness, awkwardness, asymmetry, and play. Color is central to this endeavor. I am interested especially in how color signifies sociologically: pink, so we are told, means femininity, red is for anger and passion, greys and browns suggest melancholy, yellow is optimistic. My work tries to unlearn these associations, to make productive misalignments.”
