  • "For this exhibition of new work, Ansel focuses on one of the painters she most venerates: Titian (Tiziano Vecellio), the great Venetian master of color. Ansel is not a passive admirer, not a copyist in the manner of painters who stand before a painting to reproduce it, to acquire its techniques. She is far more activist, feminist, inventive. Her stance is interrogative, interpretative, searching for what a Renaissance masterpiece signifies to her as a twenty-first century abstract painter who is also a woman. 'It’s not about being a channel but about being a creative collaborator in a very energizing exchange,' she said, with artists like Titian who remain 'very much alive and relevant.'"

    "Abstraction allows me to interrupt what is a one-sided narrative and transform it into a sensuous, nonnarrative form that embraces multiple readings. It metamorphosizes the meaning of the works from which my paintings spring, shifting the focus from narrative content to the brushstrokes themselves, and to the specific material characteristics of the paint. I don’t have a prescriptive method or recipe. I am translating, I am dancing, allowing multiple iterations to emerge, through the process."
