Mobile Visual Diary II

Mobile Visual Diary II Poster Print is a print of a Conceptual drawing . The concept arises out of our mobile phones now being our visual diaries. It is definitely the new sign of the times. (grin). Here, Anna Boros has taken clips from her own mobile phone and drawn them in her own comic style. Naturally, though comics can be quite serious, the style often does lend itself to be taken not too seriously, as it is in a cartoon style. However, if someone were to send a cartoon style work denoting sinister narrative, then the joke would be coming from the sender in a sardonic way to the receiver.
Speaking of narrative, Mobile Visual Diary II pinpoints those important and not so important times when the pictures were taken. Cats are of great interest, as are keeping up with clay facials... that is important too. An image of when she sculptured the living room chandelier; a new Guess Heart watch. The time when the crocheted flower squares were lined up ready to be sewn into a new coat; notice boards and waiting rooms- mainly just every day things an artist does, but are funny (like the facial pic she sent to her son), and memorable (like the chandelier she made for the lounge room).
Why the 'look alike poster prints' ? Anna Boros felt that posters too should carry a meaningful message, and even though an average, posters show so many wonderful images, the images are often not put forward in cultivation of conceptual thinking. Everything does have its place, but a new type of poster print series concept is offered up here by the artist. So, basically, even the look as well as the drawing of this artwork is in fact, conceptual.
The images are drawn as if drawn on playing cards, and it is this, that Nature often draws our hand of life- like a set of playing cards. It is through this concept that Boros has taken this part seriously as well. Concepts are important to this artist, for without them, there may not be meaning. People, (as are all organic life) is important to her. For example, a floral work needs meaning. Without the 'push' of meaning, then inspiration and the lack of it can leave work dull and lifeless. To her, what is within the mind, body, and spirit, has the materialisation of form, when it is finally physically made. To her, the gift of meaning is to be found in all of her works. So colour is most important, and also lack of it is very important too.
Her black and white drawings are stark and and meaning is often found within these innovations as well. If money would be the sole motivation for the work, then the work would turn more into technique, and technique over meaning for her, is definitely not her motivation nor the inspiration for meaning. She often quotes ' Where focus goes, focus grows', and it is this too that the intent is a giving one. Meaningful inspiration is the innovation of the final outcome to good artwork and character.
The artwork is printed on acid free card and is classified 'large' in size. The frame, like the others in the series is professionally made of black painted wood. The backing is of high quality core board which allows the acid free print to 'breathe'. This is important for all works on paper. The glass is standard art glass. Artist Anna Boros felt the work to be aesthetically more pleasing than non reflecting art glass because to the eye, it gives deeper colour tones.
Prints and art works are not meant to be in sunlight, as all works can deteriorate if in these conditions long enough. The printing ink on these prints is supposed to last almost a century (99 years), but if not taken care of, then it won't last that and no amount of guarantee can cover that.
There are two in situ's that are provided, one being in a home room setting, and the other in an upbeat restaurant/ cafe setting. This work, being highly colourful and conceptual, can be worked into these settings, and it is possibly suited to a person who loves a good art concept (intellectual) to a person who loves colour and fun (isn't that everyone?). A modernistic flair for those who would like a bit of everything in mixed 'art genre taste'.

Anna Boros is a professional artist based in Sydney, Australia.

She currently resides within a living sculpture; walls plastered with mirror mosaics, windows glowing blue with custom leadlighting. It is a personal gallery and exhibition space that houses a lifetime of art creation.

"The abstracted mirror mosaics was a conceptual work, based on the reverence of church reflections and also the inner sanctum of our own reflection when we are alone. We reach a certain so personal space and place within us. The reflections were also to bring about colour, and the colour in the reflections when people visit, is the spark of joy that others bring me- reflections can also be about having our own 'inner sanctum' lit up!"

Anna has been exhibiting her art since 1973: Her work, "King Nebuchadnezzar on his chariot with his team of horses" was her first sale, with the proceeds quickly purchasing a couple of Levi's and some shoes.

In her life Anna has worked as a singing teacher, professional singer, sang at many different venues from Sydney to the Blue Mountains, Metaphysics teacher, radio host, songwriter, poet, performance artist, sculptor, and art teacher (in mosaic and sculpture). Her dedication and contribution to the art world is unquestionable: dozens of her works have been displayed in almost a hundred exhibitions.

Her latest exhibition series, "Everyday Matriarchal Heroines", is a collection of 18 individual portraits. Each portrait, drawn in pastel on canvas, was a celebration of an unsung hero. Titled "Everyday Matriarchal Heroines" , the exhibition, opened by the Honourable member for Lindsay Emma Husar, marked the end of a touching and unique experience for Anna. It took nearly a full year of dedication and hard work to realise 18 portraits of everyday women who had come out on top of debilitating traumatic experiences and events. The 18 women were interviewed, written records of their experiences, photographed, drawn, then beautifully framed, then exhibited.

"The women that have been drawn are very special. They are a few of the many women who walk silently within our midst who should be honoured and recognised for their heroism and courage."

The 2nd last real life exhibition was early 2019 at Katoomba, One88 Gallery where a joint exhibition was conducted to celebrate women . Everyday Matriarchal Heroines was exhibited. Upcoming exhibition (Finalist) will be Campbelltown Art Gallery, the Fishers Ghost Art Awards, November, 2020. Also for November, Fairfield Art Society Online Open Art Prize 2020. 'The Preponderance Of Dorne-May', (being a conceptual work, pastel drawing/ painting) has been entried.

The latest art exhibition was at Campbelltown Art Gallery where she was invited to lend an artwork titled 'Kitty Kitty' to them for an exhibition titled 'Space YZ'. . It has been in the gallery since early January 2021, and will be being bumped out in early March 2021. During its time of stay at the gallery , the Space YZ Exhibition was part of the Sydfest 2021, being 6-26 January.

Also, Anna will be uploading more artworks when she can. There are many works for sale and she is still sorting through everything with the new studio. She is definitely hoping to sell some of the older works at reduced prices to clear floor space of which the works are quite lovely. So pop in to check. She will still be here. :-) If you like a particular style or colour combinations or even if you have a photograph of something you would like her to work for you, please feel happily free to contact her.
