Anne Dias is an American painter born in 1985 in Cleveland, Ohio. A 2015 graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she participated in several group exhibitions following her graduation.

Anne Dias' work depicts the search for a neutrality. Her paintings are not intended to denounce anything; rather, they show the world objectively, making bodies and spaces simple objects held together by a complexity internal to the painting. The works are often small or medium-sized, painted in oil, demonstrating a technique that is remarkable for its rigor and photographic realism. However, the subtlety of the work appears as soon as the eye gets closer to the canvas, while the materiality of the painting asserts itself through a cleverly orchestrated play of layers and thicknesses.

The artist's work is composed of photographic research within European and American rural areas. At first, Anne Dias tries to retranscribe the experiences and the impressions which result from the landscapes but especially from the meetings which she makes on the ground. The photographs are thus enhanced with notes and descriptive texts. There follows a work of workshop in which, finally, the artist comes

requalify in the pictorial field, its meetings and exchanges.
