Anna Conway (born 1973) is an American visual artist based in New York City and known for enigmatic oil paintings that depict uneasy, absurdist moments descending on isolated, ordinary individuals.[1][2][3][4] She combines a style identified as precise and methodical with detailed observation,[5] "an air of surrealist suspension,"[2] and a narrative sense that critics characterize as elusive, metaphysical and "imbued with cinematic suggestion."[6] Conway has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at MoMA PS1, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, University Art Museum at Albany, Fralin Museum of Art, and Collezione Maramotti (Italy), among other venues.[7][8][9][10] She has been recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship (2014),[11][12] two Pollock-Krasner Foundation Awards (2011, 2005),[13] and the American Academy of Arts and Letters William L. Metcalf Award (2008).[8][14]
