Overview

Anna Leonhardt's (b. Pforzheim, 1981; lives and works in New York and Leipzig) paintings probe her own experiences and moods, while also referencing works of literature and quoting phenomena in the history of her craft. Abstract surfaces composed of numerous layers that break the two-dimensional bounds of the canvas engender a physical and imagined space that is further expanded by the interrelations between the pictorial elements, an imaginary communication with other works of art, and the beholders. The publication Touching Space presents Anna Leonhardt's most recent works. A compendium of writings on the subject of space by the phenomenologist Franz Xaver Baier and the artist's correspondence with the curator Sophia Pietryga complement the imposing illustrations. The book is released in conjunction with the eponymous solo exhibition at Galerie She BAM! Laetitia Gorsy, Leipzig. Anna Leonhardt studied painting and graphic art at the Dresden University of Fine Arts (HfBK) from 2002- 2008, completing her education with postgraduate training with Ralf Kerbach until 2010.
