American, b. 1957
Part of a generation of artists who developed their practices around what was then called “Picture Theory,” Annette Lemieux has gone on to become a trailblazer in the field of post-Conceptualist painting, assemblage and photomontage, drawing influences from Minimalism and Pop art and often employing as her source material media images from the 20th century. Lemieux’s deft use of readymade imagery in her practice is always tied to contemporary life, its humanity and its indignations, its politics and its ever-changing visual codes, and thus her work is always open to new meaning, on both a personal and collective level.
Born in 1957 in Norfolk, Virginia, Lemieux studied at the Hartford Art School, University of Hartford where she received her BFA in 1980. Lemieux has received awards and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pollock/Krasner Foundation, the Howard Foundation Fellowship, Brown University, and the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum in Germany. In 2009 Lemieux received an Honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts from Montserrat College of Art. She currently lives and works in Boston, MA.
