Aleksi Ann
Aleksi Ann is a 27-year old queer Métis artist originally from Cut Knife and currently based in North Battleford. Her work is inspired by impressionism and expressionism, is experimental with materials, and utilizes bold, imaginative colour that explores emotions and identity. Ann works primarily in acrylics but enjoys other mediums and incorporating mixed media applications into her paintings.
“Dreams can play tricks on our minds, giving us sensations and images that feel falsely familiar and real. By rooting the imagery aspect of this exhibition in things that remind me of home, I was able to abstract and distort my everyday into dreams. In many ways, the act of painting can feel like being the author of dreams – – reality is whatever you make it.” – Aleksi Ann, Artist.
