Monday, May 12th, 2008 - Anna Glodek Oil and Watercolor Exhibit at USMH

Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Imaginary, spontaneous, urgent, bursting with color – thisis how Anna Glodek, a Maryland oil and watercolor artist, describes herpaintings. Glodek will bring her “New Beginnings,” figure and flower paintingexhibit to the University System of Maryland at Hagerstown Library from May 1 to June 5. An artist reception is scheduled for May 10, from 12—2 p.m.

Glodek paints figure and flower compositions that “fitsomewhere between realism and abstraction,” she said. Describing herinspiration, she said, “When I look at flowers, I see a dance of petals andleaves folding into each other, opening and closing, coming together or pullingaway.”

She said she likes to use a thick application of oil paintto create multiple layers and uses the palette knife to move paint around. Themedium of watercolor, “allows me to be contemplative, yet playful at the sametime. I like the softness and quietness of building an image with transparentveils of color, especially in painting the human form.”

Glodek has had her paintings displayed in the FoundryGallery in Washington, D.C., and in October 2007 had a solo show at thegallery. She has participated in group shows at Glen Echo National Park, theMOCA Gallery in Georgetown, and the Foundry Gallery.

She has studied at the Smithsonian Institute, the TorpedoFactory in Alexandria, VA, and across Maryland with abstract, watercolor andfigure artists.

“Anna’s paintings are filled with intense color, texture andshapes. The patterns she creates in the paint are visually intriguing andappealing. We are extremely pleased to have her work here in the USMH Library,”said USMH Director of Library Services Jennifer Clement.

USMH Executive Director David Warner said, “Attractingregional artists to display their work in our library is an important culturalcomponent of our center, and when we have an artist with the talent of AnnaGlodek, it is a great occasion. We invite the community, students, faculty andstaff to come into the library to enjoy and reflect upon the artwork.”
