CK Contemporary Gallery is presenting “Cenotes,” an exhibition of a dozen underwater figure scenes painted by Anne Leone in acrylics on canvas or paper.
The artist has been spending time in the cenote pools of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, exploring the interplay of light, water, and human motion.
“If I had to identify a central theme in my work,” Anne says, “I think it would be about human beings and their relationship to the environment.”
In meticulous detail, she shows swimmers suspended in crystalline waters, noting that her “focus tends to be where the body and the surface connect,” spurring us to ponder the essential relationship between people and nature.
CK Contemporary Gallery is located in San Francisco, California. The exhibition runs August 9 through September 7, 2025. For more details, please visit ckcontemporary.com.
