Biographical Info Ann Orlowski is a painter based in Madison, WI. Her clever use of line and color plays with our vision, manipulating our perspective and spatial awareness. Each piece deconstructs the visual world, breaking elements into simplified forms, and reconstructs these forms in new ways. The compositions are deliberate, concise, and organized. By implementing the stylistic elements of geometric forms to create volume, and line to flatten the visual space, Orlowski translates the three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional plane. The dichotomy of form and line creates tension within the image, allowing her to manipulate space in exciting and compelling ways. Orlowski holds a BFA from the University of Northern Iowa, where she focused on printmaking. Since leaving the University setting in 2004, she has developed her painting practice and has shown her work throughout the region. She has focused her career on both art making and curation. Orlowski is the Gallery Director at Abel Contemporary Gallery, she also curates shows in the Madison area, and has juried art shows and fairs throughout the region.
