Carrie Ann Baade (born February 18, 1974 in Louisiana) is an American painter whose work has been described by Curator of Contemporary Art Margaret Winslow as "autobiographical parables combin(ing) fragments of Renaissance and Baroque religious paintings, resulting in surreal landscapes inhabited by exotic flora, fauna, and figures." The context and the compositional building blocks of her work are fragments of historical masterpieces, which Baade reinterprets using her original feminist and autobiographical perspective. She currently lives in Tallahassee, Florida, where she is a professor in the Department of Art at Florida State University
Education and early life
Baade was born in New Orleans but spent the majority of her early years in a small town in central Colorado, where she graduated from high school. She attended The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, graduating with her BFA in 1997. During that period she spent a year in Italy studying the techniques of the old masters at the Florence Academy of Art. In 2003, she earned her MFA from the University of Delaware.
Style
"Carrie Ann Baade is a talented and highly imaginative artist whose work is irrevocably linked to the contemporary surreal movement." .....
Exhibitions, grants, and awards
Baade has been nominated for the United States Artists Fellowship (2006) and the Joan Mitchell Grant (2012) and received the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs Individual Artist Fellowship and the Delaware Division of the Arts Fellowship for Established Artists.
Her paintings have been featured in various art exhibitions including: "Back and Forth: Thinking in Paint" at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, "Solar Midnight" at the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville (solo show,)"¡Orale! The Kings and Queens of Cool" at Harwood Museum of Art, "In Canon" at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, "Suggestivism" at CSUF Grand Central Art Center in Santa Monica, and "Another Roadside Attraction" at ISE Cultural Foundation in New York City. In 2007 she was among a group of three artists who became the first Americans ever to exhibit at the Ningbo Museum, one of the largest provincial museums in China, located outside of Shanghai. The director of the Ningbo Museum called them "the Mayflowers" for their contributions as cultural ambassadors.
Internationally, her paintings have been included in exhibitions in China, Austria, Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and the Philippines; and featured in exhibitions at the Center for Culture in Warsaw, Museum La Ensenanza in San Cristóbal and the Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico, the Instituto de América de Santa Fe Museo in Granada Spain, and Espace Culturel Mompezat Société des Poètes Françaises in Paris.
In 2011, Baade curated "Cute and Creepy", a large group exhibit at the Museum of Fine Art at Florida State University of artists in the pop surrealism movement.
