This event has ended.

Able Fine Art NY Gallery presents the gallery’s debut exhibition with talented artist Annika Connor.

Connor is a Brooklyn-based painter who works in the decadent aesthetic of a romantic. The exhibition features her latest watercolor and oil painting series that meditate on indulgence and psychoneurosis.

Connor puts a fascinating spin on “beauty” via disenchantment in a world of mutated fantasy. The nostalgic aspiration to the materialistic and hedonistic life of the past allows a sort of spiritual contemplation to travel and escape out of the mundane.

Connor’s idealistic images draw upon the anxieties and delirium associated with decadence. Her color-rich paintings bring the external stimuli of the artist, who is also an actor, philanthropist, and entrepreneur.

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Annika Connor received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited at Ford Projects, Phllips, QF Gallery, The National Arts Club, and many more venues. Connor has lived in Barcelona, Chicago, London, and Stockholm, and currently resides in Brooklyn where she maintains an active studio. In addition to her work in the studio, Connor is the Owner & CEO of Active Ideas Productions.
