South Shore Arts is proud to debut Ann Latinovich’s new body of work “Efflorescence” in the South Shore Art’s Atrium Gallery. Ann Latinovich received her BFA from Tyler School of Art, her formative training included living and studying in Rome, Italy. She received her Masters of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing from Chicago's School of the Art Institute. Latinovich is an internationally recognized multidisciplinary artist whose work has been housed in numerous institutions over the years, including The Art Institute of Chicago, London House Hotel, The Blackstone Hotel, Chicago’s Historic Water Tower, and Rome’s Temple Gallery.
Ann Latinovich’s “Efflorescence” is a collection of new works from three different series, highlighting her unique vision of the world as they weave between intricate portraits and botanical-themed fine art.
“Efflorescence” is a remarkable collection of artworks that are composed of painted still-lifes, photography, and drawings. Throughout “Efflorescence” vignettes featuring flora and fauna revolve around and reflect the human experience. Ann Latinovich cultivates a deep reverence for the process of creating, admiring the act of being still, quiet, and open to inform and lead her to greater discoveries. Discoveries that she has passed along to both her work and her viewers. Presenting through quiet exploration, a conversation between each stem and the unique beauty of each imperfect bloom develops between the viewer and Latinovich’s work. Latinovich states “Throughout creating this series, I have been witness to more joy, color, abundance, delicacy, vulnerability, strength, connection, fluidity and dare I say it, LOVE, all right there, just waiting to have its story told.”
“Efflorescence” is on exhibit in the Atrium Gallery at The Center for Visual and Performing Arts through May 14. An Artist Talk will take place on Saturday, April 2, at 2 pm in the gallery. On Monday, April 24, Ann will give a lecture and gallery tour for Art in Focus at 10 am. The Artist Reception for “Efflorescence,” will take place from 1-3 pm on Sunday, April 30.
