Lorene Anderson is a painter interested in the manipulation of two-dimensional space: math, cosmology, physics and their relationship to biology inspire her work. She frequently pours paint, and more recently, employs gestural brushwork & carved squeegees to pull paint across surfaces creating linear, layered compositions. Born in Kansas just days after a major tornado, Lorene Anderson went on to spend her childhood in Ohio and West Virginia. She received her B.F.A. from Miami University of Ohio and her M.F.A. from U.C. Berkeley, where she received the Eisner Award for painting. Anderson's work is held in various private and public collections, including the Berkeley Art Museum, UC Davis Health, Walnut Creek Public Library, Imagery Estate Winery Artists Collection.

From the artist's statement: "My work explores themes of shifting space such as air currents, sound-waves, the cosmos (spectral analysis/ subatomic particles/ matter), wifi, mobile data, and especially light. I'm not illustrating these interests, they're feeding the work & influencing my methods, material choices and my approach to making paintings. I paint what exists between the eye and what is being observed; turning the invisible into something visible."
