“Between the decorative motifs, the warlike scenes and the explosive colours, the artist has managed to restore a balance between war and peace, between the committed and casual, between innocence and violence.”
“Anne Cindric’s painting is not programmatic or moralising. Above all, it asks questions:about our shared History, our relationship to violence, about her personal history and her relationship to power, to authority.”
“Anne Cindric explores a dichotomy (…), both thematically and iconographically, between a female world (decorative) and a male world (warlike).Two habitually separate worlds which are here brought together within the artist’s personal construction, every aspect of which she brings to us without concession.”
