New York based artist, Angela Dufresne creates a duality of strangeness and familiarity partly though her choice of palette—from acidic to tempered earth tones, to muted veils of transparent color. Her work are released from strict rules of logical narrative , embodying fantasy and imagination.
Her work has appeared in international exhibitions including Greater New York 2005 at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in New York, the 2005 ARCO Art Fair for Galeria Marta Cervera in Madrid, Miracle on Franklin Street at GV/AS in Brooklyn, The Triumph of Painting at the Saatchi Gallery in London, and a solo exhibition at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, CA. She is represented by Monya Rowe Gallery in New York, and CRG Gallery, also in New York.
The Visiting Artist Lecture Series is sponsored by the Betsey Straub Wiesenfeld Visiting Artist Endowment and the UC Berkeley Department of Art Practice.
