Los Angeles-based artist Annie Lapin has made a career out of taking something obvious and completely tearing it apart visually, and while her compositions might appear obscurely rendered, her talent is unmissable. The third in our New American Paintings/Video series with Graham Kolbeins of Future Shipwreck focuses on the studio practice of Annie Lapin, the recent winner of both our inaugural Reader's Choice Poll and our first NAP Annual Prize.
Featured in edition #91 of New American Paintings as a Noteworthy artist, Annie's work will be featured in a forthcoming solo show at Honor Fraser in Los Angeles.
