NYC Creative Artists Dialogue: Identity I was pleased to be part of this discussion hosted by Jenn Dierdorf on July 16, 2018. Art practice and artist identity are inseparable ideas, as artists pull from life experiences to influence their work. An art practice creates a space to confront and work through difficult or unresolved aspects of identity. While some artists focus specifically on body/identity politics, others create work indirectly related to identity such as connections, structure, place, process, and/or medium.

My review in artcritical of Pat Adams' solo exhibition at Victoria Munroe Fine Art Adams has been producing beautiful, deeply engaging and keenly relevant work for nearly 70 years. A wealth of literature by renown critics such as Dore Ashton, Barbara Rose, Max Kozloff and Jed Perl has been written about the twenty-five solo shows of her work here in New York City since the mid-1950s and others throughout the country along with innumerable group exhibitions. Proof of Adam’s significance is in abundance in this show.

Design Award for Mattituck Studio Winner: Art Space in a Residence

Andrew Berman Architect

Mattituck, New York

North Fork Painting Studio, 2015

A windowless 800-square-foot garage was transformed into a "day-lit and generously scaled painting studio." As the firm noted in its submission, "color is provided by the landscape, the shifting character of the light through the days and seasons, and by the artwork itself.”

New Partnership with Twyla I am pleased to announce my partnership with Twyla, an innovative Austin-based company that produces and sells limited edition artworks. Three of my prints are now available exclusively through Twyla. Each work features a pair of notebook pages presented—as if zooming out—using a progression of digital and photographic steps. They transpose the high-keyed color palette from my paintings to toner droplets, woven threads, cast shadows and refracted light.

Award for best overall artwork, Hamptons Art Hub "From the Earth" Competition In November 2016, my work was given the top award in Hamptons Art Hub's "From the Earth" competition judged by Christine Berry, co-director of Berry Campbell gallery in Chelsea.

Hyperallergic, "The Rebellious Spirit of Paint" Seph Rodney writes, "But ultimately the painter has to build a world that makes sense to her and hope our sensibilities follow. I do. I stand in that room and feel the sensuous meeting of surface, substrate, theory, hand, and conviction."

ARTCRITICAL PICK: Anne Sherwood Pundyk at Christopher Stout David Cohen writes, "Six powerful, lyrical, at once absorbing and theatrical canvases, patched together from separate panels and each seven feet tall by a little more than that in width, hang unstretched like baronial tapestries in a raw white cube in Bushwick."

Hamptons Art Hub, "Moving Paintings Beyond Object: Anne Sherwood Pundyk's Revolution," "In the new series, Pundyk seeks to create a role for painting as an integral part of performance or as catalyst for engagement and debate that goes beyond a discussion of the art works," observes Pat Rogers.

Washington Post review of "The Revolution Will Be Painted: Deux" Adah Rose Gallery Mark Jenkins begins his review: “Painting will always tremble, but very precisely” is one line from Anne Sherwood Pundyk’s manifesto in verse, “The Revolution Will Be Painted.” The poem’s title also designates the artist’s show at Adah Rose Gallery, which translates her words into color and line.

Fine Art Intelligence: Interview with Anne Sherwood Pundyk During the last year, New York artist Anne Sherwood Pundyk has created an expansive body of work called, “The Revolution Will Be Painted" in her studio on the east end of Long Island. Inspired by the cycle of the seasons, her large wall-sized canvas pieces activate the space around them employing combinations of unruly color. The artist’s smaller works on paper reveal the development of her formal vocabulary exploring contrasting organic and geometric forms. Working within the tradition of abstract painting, Pundyk channels the wild, natural forces of the rural landscape into works to be read with an open, changeable mindset.

ART21 Magazine, "'The Revolution Will Be Painted' Revisited" Last year, as part of ART21 Magazine’s “Revolution” issue, feminist new genre painter Anne Sherwood Pundyk rewrote the lyrics to Gil Scott-Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” to create “The Revolution Will Be Painted.” Named after one of her large scale, latex and acrylic works, the collection of phrases from artists, writers, art historians and critics advocated for the crucial role that the visual arts—especially painting—play in propelling social change. This year, she’s looking back on the months that followed the creation of her anthem and eponymous painting, investigating the ways in which expressive abstract color creates a revolution of its own.

Noah Dillon from artcritical interviews me in "Tell Me: with Anne Sherwood Pundyk" Dillon begins: "I’ve been visiting — with artists, writers, curators, dealers, and others in the art world — to look at one artwork of my guest’s choice. We have a one-on-one conversation about the artwork, what they find interesting in it and why it’s important to them. In this edition, painter Anne Sherwood Pundyk and I went to her studio in Mattituck, New York, to look at her ongoing painting project, The Revolution Will Be Painted..."

"Stadia" Anne Sherwood Pundyk: Exhibition Catalogue "Stadia" presents paintings by Anne Sherwood Pundyk and her dialogues with poet and critic Barry Schwabsky and artist and writer Kara L. Rooney. The works and conversations reveal Pundyk's traversal between her studio practice and collaborative exchanges. Color and gesture translate the artist's essential stories. Through her connections with other artists and her audience she looks to identify how these stories overlap with older tales, myths and fable. These works were shown at Susan Eley Fine Art, New York, NY in the winter of 2013.
