Anna McCarthy

Sperling at art berlin 2017, with a solo presentation by Munich based artist Anna McCarthy.

Anna McCarthy’s (*1981) work oscillates between genres. She constantly seeks new forms to express topics that have collective relevancy as well as personal urgency. Her work is quick and dirty, improvised and raw, charged with personal experience as a reflection of wider topics. Her sharp intellect and wit challenge the status quo, always laughing, together with the viewer, in the face of fear. Her methods of production mirror the content – cheap materials, reusables, always in flux. She possesses a talent to astutely comment societal ongoings in a poetic and profound way, subtly dismantling power constructs as she goes. Her work is a modern-day amalgam of multi-layered readings that take the viewer into a narration that weaves in and out of thought patterns building revolutionary spaces to revel in.
