NEW YORK, NY.- Rehs Contemporary is presenting new works by renowned artist Anne-Marie Zanetti.

At the heart of the "Reminisce" series is Zanetti's youngest daughter, Bec, who has become an unending source of inspiration for the artist. Through meticulous and emotive portraiture, Zanetti delves into the depths of her own memories, skillfully unlocking hidden truths about her formative years. The profound connection between mother and daughter serves as a gateway to understanding the artist's own adolescent experiences and emotions.

"Recreating the visage of my daughter, Bec, has led me to a profound realization: she is a mirror that reflects not only her own journey but also my own past," Anne-Marie Zanetti expressed. "As Bec embarked on her transition from teenage years to adulthood, it triggered a flood of memories from my own youth during the culturally vibrant decades of the 1970s and 1980s. The 'Reminisce' series captures the essence of that era, enabling me to encapsulate the fleeting impressions of my youthful landscape."

Drawing upon the visual language of the past, Zanetti thoughtfully crafts each portrait to evoke a sense of nostalgia, drawing viewers into a world brimming with sentiment and reflection. The artist's deliberate choice to style the portraits reminiscent of the 1970s and 1980s era imbues the artworks with a unique charm that pays homage to the artist's own experiences and the spirit of those times.

"These portraits are not just snapshots frozen in time; they are embodiments of emotions, fragments of experiences, and whispers of the past," Zanetti continued. "My intention is not only to unravel the enigmatic insights concealed within the shadows of my history but also to empower these insights with a voice that resonates across generations."
