Anna Jóelsdóttir (born 1947) is a contemporary artist of Icelandic heritage, now based in Chicago.[1] She is known for sculptural works of painted canvas often created as site specific installations.[2]
Early life and education
She studied at the University Teachers College of Iceland (BEd, 1978), the University of East Anglia (MA Applied Research in Education, 1985) and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she received an MFA in 2002.[3]
Work
Anna's work in the early 2000s were abstractions "inspired by her search for a center in a globalized world"[4] In 2011, Chicago Art Magazine described Anna's work as having "a whimsical, illustrative quality, but with the movement and vibrancy of sound. Manipulation of the paper transforms her drawings into sculpture, books, and larger than life installations. In the third dimension she is able to play with the interconnected tensions between negative and positive spaces, light and shadow, and the fragility and durability of her material."[5]
