Anna Tanner
Anna Stephen Tanner is an American-born oil painter and curator from Atlanta, GA, practicing in Toronto, ON. Drawn to themes of tension, her practice traces her upbringing amongst rigid southern American values to her experience as a femme lesbian. She depicts the commodification of the female form, reclaiming agency through her gaze. Her references come from vintage magazines, imagery from old Hollywood, early 2000s media, and imagery from rural America.
With her BFA in Criticism and Curatorial Practices from OCADU, her recent curatorial work includes "Power Play - A Girl Behind A Gun" at Girl Fraud Gallery, and her BFA thesis "GRIT", held at Remote Gallery. Her painting work has been shown internationally at (SCENE) Metrospace in Michigan, US, and in Toronto at Stackt Market, Ada Slaight Gallery, Remote Gallery, and OCADU at Gradex111.
