In her new series of works on paper, the grid structure found on the blank pages of a standard calendar becomes the site of painterly occurrences and juxtapositions of disparate images. Sketches, photocopies, digital renderings and newspaper clippings collide in these seemingly simple assemblages. They suggest the scattered yet repetitive rhythm of daily life punctured by bills, letters, question marks, laconic answers, dry snacks and spare change. A pile of coins falls through a cartoonish hole like money without wealth, currencies without nations, accounts without passwords. The idiomatic motifs that populate her assemblages are permeated by the materiality of paint in a way that evokes the daily practice of the artist. Day after day, Anne Neukamp confronts symbols and images designed for everyday efficiency by drawing them into a pictorial realm that tempers their velocity.
