Anna Charney 2016

2016

This project was initiated by our organization in an effort to provide a canvas for an outstanding emerging artist and bring more vibrant art to the pathways of Boulder. This was Anna’s second mural of her art career. Anna is now a highly sought after and successful mural artist based in Denver, CO.

This project was funded and supported by the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation and the Office of Arts and Culture, in an effort to curb graffiti and vandalism which was prevalent at this site near 6th street on the Boulder Creek Path.

Charney is a painter and muralist of abstract pattern works. She received her BFA in painting/drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has been living and working back in her hometown of Denver, Colorado since 2016. Her practice includes works on canvas, installation pieces, and indoor/outdoor murals on any scale (both in the private and public sector).

Charney’s optical paintings and murals are characterized by their expansive compositions, graphic dot patterning and dense detail. Through illusionistic deception, dynamic arrangements of detail and corresponding visual rhythms, Charney creates a sensational and immersive experience for the viewers of her paintings and installations. Using acrylic on canvas and aerosol on murals, she describes her illusionistic spaces and bending forms as “digital taffy”.
