Anna Di Mezza - 2020 December 24 2019

Feature Showcase
Outré Gallery Fitzroy
18 Sept – 6 Oct 2020

Anna Di Mezza is a painter who currently resides in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Her works are surrealistic in nature, playing with perspective and combining subject matter with unexpected backgrounds resulting in bizarre visual narratives. Inspired by vintage photos, Anna likes to depict what appear to be stills from a surrealist film – challenging viewers to make up their own interpretation of the plot. Her paintings seem to straddle a fine line between humour and horror.

Anna's pieces for In A Summer Place have a common theme of summer, sunset, light and heat. Also the song 'In a Summer Place' invokes nostalgia from the 50s, which suit the pieces that have been derived from 1950s and 60s references.
