Anna Virnich\u2019s (b. Berlin, 1984; lives and works in Berlin) works resemble a speculative narrative. The artist has collected fabrics, garments, and bedspreads since her childhood, which she cuts up, exposes to the elements, dyes, and sometimes paints on to construct pictures and spaces. Her works are paintings and objects at once and defined by a powerful physical presence in conjunction with a ghostly emptiness. They recall Helen Frankenthaler\u2019s liquefied chromatic landscapes, Paul Thek\u2019s post-minimalist physicality, and the silver-foil transcendence of Andy Warhol\u2019s Factory.
