Anne Belov
The portrayal of light, structure, color, and the specificity of place and time has for 35 years informed Anne Belov’s paintings and prints. Her repertoire includes landscapes, still life and interior imagery, often inspired by European travels. Whether painting her home surroundings on Whidbey Island or the patinas of fading and peeling facades in Italy, Belov’s bold and direct brushwork results in captivating imagery that expresses the bond she feels with her subject.
Working primarily in oil on linen glued onto hardboard, Anne uses traditional recipes for egg-oil emulsion rabbit skin glue gesso to create a more absorbent ground than acrylic or oil based gessoes. Subsequent layers of paint create the depth and luminosity that characterizes her evocative paintings. That same sensitivity finds expression in etchings and monoprints that for 15 years have been part of her repertoire as well.

MONOPRINTS
A monoprint is a hybrid of printmaking and painting. An image is printed from a printing plate that gets inked slightly or vastly different each time at the artist’s discretion. Additional hand painting on top, and/or additional printed layers on top result in unique multiples.
