        Seth Anderson (New Mexico) (see images below) Seth Anderson studied at the University of Colorado in Boulder and Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. Early in his career, Anderson designed linens and rugs for Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel and later ventured into residential design and building. But artwork has always been his first calling - not surprising considering his upbringing. He is the son of well known abstract artist Sally Anderson. The work of Anderson (the son) can be found in the collections of well known entities such as the Essex House in New York City and the New Mexico State Capitol Building in Santa Fe. He is also prominently featured in the 2003 book, Abstract Art: The New Mexico Artist Series. Anderson has a very intuitive way of working. As he puts it, “The drawing is always ahead of where my mind is.” Clearly, he is very interested in the power of the line. The line is the driver of the work. But what the line looks like and where it goes give rise to the space in between. Anderson is very intrigued by the parallels between his art and the way we move through our daily lives with twists and turns and bumps which all give rise to a range of emotions and thoughts. He expresses these resultant feelings and reflections with color, texture, and shape. And to convey some of the complexity of life, Anderson chooses to use a variety of media including pens, markers, oils, acrylics, stains, pastels, and inks applied to various types of paper, often on both sides. All of this is applied to assorted substrates such as plexiglass or wood and then coated with beeswax to finish. Anderson’s work displays the influence of Miro, Klee, and Calder, which offers a dynamic connection to the past. But Anderson’s work is plainly propelled by our ever expanding window into the very large and the very small. His compositions reflect a multiplicity of scales and environments, which invitingly bid us to contemplate worlds less familiar to us. |
