About Anne Labovitz:
Labovitz (b. Duluth, Minnesota) lives and works in St. Paul, MN. Responding to today’s world, she makes artwork that challenges isolation, loneliness and disconnection by activating color and light in large-scale work. Local context and creating connections with others is embodied in her creative process and public interventions.
Labovitz creates work about how political, social, and cultural platforms can be turned into personal acts of care. Conversation and interaction are integral parts of her creative process, which allows Labovitz to explore a blurred boundary between gallery exhibit and social practice. Color, texture, installation, and community building all combine to create a shared space of connection and contemplation. For years, Labovitz examined the importance of human connection and its visual embodiment.
"Heart" was created especially for DAI fundraising efforts in 2021. 2' x 2' acrylic on canvas.
Full proceeds go to the DAI.
