Annette Lemieux is one of the few wunderkind of the 1980s global art scene who has endured beyond that feverish time to become a significant artist whose work continues to grow in depth and resonance. Lemieux is a prominent figure in the US and abroad. Her work has been exhibited in major institutions internationally and is recognized in preeminent museum and private collections. Currently, Lemieux is Professor of the Practice of Studio Arts at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Lemieux’s commitment to content over material motivates her to work with an ever-expanding range of media. Whether employing marble or scrim, she masters and invents techniques and processes that correlate with states of mind. Her process incorporates intellectual analyses of social codes with an emphasis on psychological and emotional content. Fundamentally interdisciplinary in content and form, Lemieux’s works continue her exploration and explication of our cultural constructs and how objects that reflect the self define the self within the culture.

[press release] Unfinished Business continues to trace her investigations of memory and meaning. However, here we are presented with an unfiltered personal and poetic connection to the vivid lives of objects. Collectively the works function as if a road map to her creative process, a process that incorporates intellectual analyses of social codes with an emphasis on psychological and emotional content and direct engagement with material.
