“Grids Unraveled” presents the artistic innovation of Ann Thornycroft through her avant-garde use of grid and color with guest artist Penny Olson. Influenced by her formal training in England and artistic movements such as Minimalism, Pop Art, and Perceptualism, she encountered in the States, Thornycroft reimagines the natural landscape of Los Angeles through her work. Her earlier paintings are held within a more rigid framework, containing her artistic expression as a young artist. Thornycroft’s venture into a self-taught watercolor medium influenced her later works, dismantling a once structured grid with fluid arcs and washes that evoke a sense of movement and emotional resonance. Just as these artists reinterpret their natural surroundings through layered complexities, color relationships, and perception, their compositions invite viewers to question visual certainties and engage with the artworks beyond first impressions.
