Angela Dufresne, born in 1969 in Hartford, CT, received a BA from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Angela Dufresne lives and works in Brooklyn.
In her large, irreverent canvases, Angela Dufresne rewrites history. Her paintings are raw with a sense of immediacy present in the brushwork. Political, economical and social conditions are evident in her subjects as she repossesses history and incorporates it into her own tale. Her canvases are influenced by film, which Dufresne believes is more real than our mundane reality. A montage of landscapes, actors and ideas are urgently pulled together to create a new narrative in vibrant color.
