Care
In this chalk pastel and charcoal work on paper, a nearly full male figure bending over to water a plant takes up most of the frame. As with much of her oeuvre, the artist uses this picture to investigate an intimate relationship between herself and her physical surroundings.
Anna Wehrwein’s drawings explore the act of watching with an artistic gaze that is intimate rather than voyeuristic. With her high-chroma colors, the artworks entice as readily as they evade. Ultimately, these drawings represent the relationships and communities they depict: artists and friends using domestic spaces as creative sites.
