8th Street Stripes


What a kool way to spend the afternoon on Saturday adding to the collective field of color stripes on 8th St. NW in Penn Quarter. I was lucky enough to arrive while the music was still playing and helped to paint an orange stripe the length of the street. Carolyn Parker was passing out t-shirts to all the volunteers painting in the street. Lots of other folk, including Rachel Dickerson and Tony Gittens from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and folks from the Corcoran Gallery of Art were wielding paint rollers and pouring the buckets of paint. Here's some pics to enjoy of the days work. Mokha Laget, long time studio assistant to Gene Davis, designed the project. She did a great design which will stay on the street for the next couple of weeks.

Metro to Gallery Place and walk to 8th Street towards the mall. The stripes are on 8th St. NW between D & E.

Virtual Appeal, a CyberExhibit

one abstract painter coming soon to a cyberspace near you

"Virtual Appeal: Anne Marchand, Abstract Painting in Washington, DC"
April 23 - May 10, 2007

Untitled ©2007, Anne Marchand

In celebration of abstract painting and artists everywhere in Washington, DC, with the large area wide exhibitions; ColorField Remix, the first International Art Fair, artDC and Artomatic, I'm holding my studio's first Virtual Gallery Exhibition, Virtual Appeal. You're invited to view selections from my latest body of work, the "Leela Series". (Work in progress....The artist reserves the right to alter the contents of this exhibition and blog anytime, from anywhere.)

Virtual Appeal touches on how art is exhibited in today's market, the transitory nature of reality and the role that art plays in our lives. The virtual exhibition occurs online on computers everywhere while the first DC International Art Fair, is being held at the DC Convention Center in Washington, DC from April 27-30, 2007. Virtual Appeal, the cyber exhibition slideshow runs through May 10 when the cyber-gallery will then retire to a private cyberspace and the artist will continue to celebrate an artful life in her studio (and elsewhere).

A virtual exhibition by Washington, DC artist, Anne Marchand. Marchand is a colorist working in acrylic and mixed media. Her paintings explore the dynamics of movement through her color combinations, her use of dynamic line and surface texture. The artist uses the voice of abstraction to set the stage, and play in the world of possibilities. Irridescent and translucent color passages in her canvases convey (e)motion and stillness. Color lines convey dynamic and subtle movements. The artist's process and journey is mysteriously concealed and revealed through multi-layered and textured surfaces. She extends her play through the world of media in her blog Painterly Visions.

In 2007, Anne Marchand was awarded an Artist Fellowship from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. She has exhibited her work throughout the United States and in Mexico. Her paintings are in numerous private and public collections. Marchand describes her work as "a spontaneous play of paint, poetry, music, communication and meaning."

This cyber exhibit is conceived and curated by Washington, DC artist Anne Marchand and will feature ten of her new works. Location: Cyberspace - Global - on Picasa Web Albums. Free and open to the public - 24 hours a day and night.

The works selected are from my current body of work, "Leela," which refers to life as a cosmic playground. The painting series will be featured at the Arches Gallery mary@archesgallery.com in the wine country of California opening on August 3, 2007. For now, just drop by the cybershow often and please, let me know what you think. - Anne Marchand

Great Walk at Great Falls




Spring is finally here and everybody was out today! It wouldn't be a great spring weekend without a walk in nature and what better place to go than Great Falls, Maryland. The river was rolling and the falls looked like they were boiling. Mother Nature is full of patterns and we had a wonderful walk on the trail looking at trees, rocks, and water. I've got to get out in nature more often! I saw some intervals of shapes and patterns in nature which remind me that I've got to go see the Gene Davis exhibition, Interval, at the Kreeger Museum. It's part of the ColorField remix citywide exhibitions www.colorfieldremix.org. I was scheduled to go to the Educator's Workshop last week but there was a postponement by the museum. "Davis's work will be on display at a solo show at the Kreeger Museum that brings together 60 paintings." -Jacqueline Trescott, The Washington Post
