Anneliese Vobis

Biomimicry

Vobis graduated with an MFA from California College for the Arts, SF in 2008 and exhibited widely through the US including the San Francisco Bay Area and New York. Artist reception to follow shortly, so check back in a week or so!!

Anneliese Vobis’ manufactured/organic sculpture seems to replicate the growth of the California landscape, both in nature and in human-made manifestation. Especially in the 21st Century, as California becomes better known for its vibrant visual art culture, Vobis captures what is inherently visual about California (lush greenscapes, natural growth intermixing with the solely structural, the overwhelming mass of bright flora) and what has transformed the West Coast contemporary art scene: a mimicry that lives on without a shelf life. Vobis works within the dichotomy that encompass the polarities of California now: the newly erected and the natural biospheric, both large parts of the contemporary California experience.
