Addison Center for the Arts hosts ‘Retrospective,’ a solo exhibit by Annette Perone Leiber
“The highest demand that is made of an artist is this: that he be true to nature, study her, imitate her, and produce something that resembles her phenomena …” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
The Addison Center for the Arts presents its featured Arts DuPage Month artist Annette Perone Leiber and her solo exhibit “Retrospective.”
Her artworks will be on display from Oct. 9 through Nov. 9 in the arts gallery, 213 N. Lombard Road. Gallery hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday.
The proceeds from the sale of her art will be donated in her name for scholarships to students at Addison Trail High School, continuing their education in one or more of the arts, including music, theater, and visual arts.
The highlight of the show will be the opening reception on Friday, Oct. 11, from 6 to 8 p.m.
The founder of numerous artist groups, including the Addison Center for the Arts, the award-winning professional artist and educator, Leiber has been fascinated by exploring all dimensions of artistic expression. The artist says, “I have spent most of my life experimenting with all media. The world we see affords an ever-changing subject from which to draw inspiration.”
Leiber’s desire to discover not only the amazing world around her but its hidden mysteries led her to begin research, using an electron microscope. Observing the objects through the microscope’s lenses opened a new world to her, full of intricacy and captivating details that later on were reflected in the artist’s paintings.
In her art, Leiber incorporates the “trapped air” imagery and strives to have others view these mysteries as she does, by using their imagination and perception. She also embraces contemporary techniques, while combining concepts, materials, and images from many sources to unveil the beauty of the invisible world and share it with us through her exquisite art.
Annette Perone Leiber’s work has graced many private, civic, and corporate collections across the United States and abroad.
