Ann Craven: Painted Time (2020-2024)
On view through January 4, 2026
Farnsworth Art Museum
Rockland, Maine
www.farnsworthmuseum.org
Often regarded as a colorist, this exhibition repositions Ann Craven within a deeper language that moves beyond her traditional motifs–moons, flowers, and birds–to explore the mechanics of painting itself. It will highlight an often overlooked conceptual framework, where seriality, repetition, and shifts in scale function as both meditative and formal devices in her paintings.
Craven’s works are a testament to the power of conceptual art and her connection to the recurring rhythms of nature, where seriality, color, and brushwork dominate her canvases from 2020 to the present. Audiences are invited to question the boundaries of painting and to engage with the ways in which Craven redefines traditional genres and styles as one of the leading painters of her generation.
