ANONYMOUS CITIZENS, a series of loosely painted portraits.
Escaping the confines of one reality and entering an alternate reality is often where I find meaning within the complexity of the mind and the emotions it houses. Thank you to the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Puffin Foundation for making this body of work possible.

Renée Bouchard Anonymous Citizen with Rainbow Tiara 2023 Acrylic and colored pencil on canvas 30 x 24 inches “Painter Reneé Bouchard’s Anonymous Citizen series questions the concept of naming, bearing witness to the tension between the collective "we" and the individual. Color skitters and flows from connection to isolation, embodying the fragile nature of identity in the face of imperialism. Renée Bouchard is a Pollock-Krasner and Puffin Foundation grantee. She has held residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, the Cooper Union and Collar Works.” Karley Sullivan, KIDDIE POOL, ALBANY, NY

“Renée is an intuitive painter with a magical sense of color, and gestural mark-making. Renée’s path is heroic as she studies, writes, paints, and tends to her child and garden with love and care. She is deeply committed to her painting, to growth, expansion and creating community.”
— Faith Wilding, Womanhouse, Eco-Feminist and former advisor & mentor.
“To know Renée is to understand her need to constantly engage with contemporary critical discourse around race, class, gender, and the intersections therein. She employs the rich vernacular of Abstract Expressionism in her own work, while exploiting its tropes and pitfalls.”
