Annie Pendergrast’s compositions originate in quick, intuitive drawings, which are later translated into paintings through a slow, methodical process of layering and refinement. Her systematic approach to color, often built around controlled gradients and harmonies, is periodically disrupted. Static points interrupt compositional flow; edges misalign; color systems break open. In several works, leftover paint from previous canvases is reused, introducing chance into an otherwise exacting process. These deviations deliberately interrupt graphic perfection, allowing the paintings to retain vulnerability beneath their finish.
Annie Pendergrast (1989), lives and works in Los Angeles and graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in 2012. Her work has been included in solo exhibitions at Bozomag Gallery, Los Angeles and Shoot The Lobster Gallery, Los Angeles; and in group exhibitions at OCHI, LA; Mrs., Queens, NYC; Bozomag, Pasadena; Ingrams, Los Angeles; Bozomag, Marfa; Curve Line Space, Los Angeles; Seasons, Los Angeles; Big Pictures, Los Angeles; Exhibit A Gallery, Los Angeles; and the Bombay Beach Biennial, Bombay Beach, California
