Anita Bates Survey Exhibition at Stamelos Gallery Center

exhibition · 2026-08-05

The Stamelos Gallery Center is set to present 'Frames of Reference, Past and Present: Selected Works by Anita Bates', a survey exhibition featuring the artist's work from the past two decades. The show, while not a full retrospective, will include selected paintings that represent various bodies of work created over more than twenty years. Bates explains that the title reflects her concept of an 'aesthetic frame of reference', which she defines as the way an artist's connections, sensibilities, and experiences shape the images they construct for their audience. She recently undertook an investigation into why she creates the way she does, which led to the desire to present this survey. The exhibition will explore her aesthetic choices over the last 20 plus years, offering viewers insight into her artistic evolution. The show is scheduled to take place at the Stamelos Gallery Center, with specific dates not yet announced.
