— MEET THE ARTIST (AND HOST) —
Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, Aimée M. Everett is a visual artist whose work employs abstraction and figurative work to explore communication, gender, race, psychology, and social commentary. Aimée M. Everett lives and works in Austin, Texas.
Aimée is interested in exploring and asking the question, “What lingers in the silences we hold between each spoken word?” She believes this is where our true emotions live. She aims to examine these silences, the ones that have been handed down generation after generation and the ones acquired as we maneuver through the world. As women we have been conditioned to bear and grin the challenges we face. As a woman of color, that silence is compounded and extends beyond misogyny. To explore these issues, Aimée attempts a new way to interpret the unsaid, attempting to reach viewers in ways words cannot.
Aimée has been refining this style and language since 2012. The exploration of this nonverbal language begins with her confronting and questioning her silences in writing. Aimée confronts experiences, feelings, and thoughts from life and those that have been shared from other people’s perspectives. Employing expressive minimalism as her vehicle; line making, atmospheric color, and texture, Aimée invites the viewer to investigate the unspoken silence that lingers between words.
