Move To Acquiescence

This artwork is a Conceptual Art piece, with Surrealist leanings drawn in a comic style , some parts of it being semi realistic. Towards the mid section of the page, the focal point leads to a Stargazer fish, where a decayed, leaf green image of an artist's hand holds a paintbrush to the painting of the Stargazer Fish.
Above this work is a lifelike stylised hand that seems to have tossed water droplets, gold coins, cut diamonds, a squat sword, and fire flames toward the fish.
Below the fish are unusually shaped 'people'. Their bodies being cone shaped, and their heads in differing positions. 6 personifications, one being a cat which is holding a fishing line over a 'hole' in the tile, and 5 human like entities. There is to be seen below them, a shower floor drain with water running into it.
To the right of the people, near to the right hand edge of the page, is a molten mass where it shows runoffs of these 'lava' streaks onto the background of black and white 'tiles'.
All of the work is full of colour. The background of the drawing/ watercolour work is of a black and white 'tiling' where the pattern tilts toward the upper left hand corner. It is quite a striking work, full of esoteric cryptic objects, situations, and symbology.
The title of the work explains a lot of what this is about. A psychological influence certainly has become conceptualised here. 'Moving Towards Acquiescence' is about accepting certain boundaries within situations of restriction and a need to have patience,,, and once accepted, there is calm and quietude. This artwork reminds us that fighting for something, working too hard at things can leave us feeling bedraggled, withered, and sad. Once we can move towards acquiescence, we can relax and trust in faith that sometimes to be still is very much ok- sounding very much like a popular Aesop's Fable! :-D
Thankyou for reading. :-D

PS: Please realise that this work is unframed and is A3 in size. x

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.
