Anke Schofield will be returning to Miami Arts Week’s Red Dot Fair with Myers Contemporary next week. Anke’s popular large-scale works feature fantastical dream-like images created through complex layering.

Piqueing the imagination, Anke’s whimsical imagery of animate and inanimate objects integrated in unexpected ways is a sophisticated combination of photography, collage, oil paint, acrylic paint, wax, and sometimes even tar. The surreal juxtaposition of images is reinforced by the eclectic use of media.

Anke finishes her works with a smooth, shiny veneer of epoxy resins, creating the dreamlike “trance,” by further separating image from reality and distancing the viewer from the textural physicality of the imagery.

Myers Contemporary will be showcasing Anke’s work at the entrance to Red Dot, adjacent to the entrances to Scope and Art Miami. Red Dot Fair Miami, Scope and Art Miami will run from December 1 – 5, 2010 in the Wynwood Art District, with opening receptions on November 30th.

About Myers Contemporary

Myers Contemporary is a relatively new gallery led by Mark Myers, who has been a private dealer and consultant for over 25 years. Myers seeks finely finished works with content, avoiding the ephemeral in favor of long term relevance and value. Myers works with a diverse range of artists in reputation and accomplishment, as well as imagery and content.  In addition to working with private collectors, Myers recently worked with Legg Mason on a Caio Fonseca large scale commission piece for their new headquarters in Baltimore, MD.
