Art of the City: Anna O'Cain explores the intricacies of everyday life in 'There’s Never Just One' at the Athenaeum Art Center
It’s very early in my interview with local artist Anna O’Cain when I realize that I’m unsure how to adequately classify her art.
Lemon Grove-based artist Anna O’Cain’s “There’s Never Just One” exhibit at the Athenaeum Art Center in Logan Heights. Such is the case with “There’s Never Just One,” a new exhibition at the Athenaeum Art Center in Logan Heights. Walking within the exhibition, the viewer is grasped with a looky-loo feeling of wanting to take it all in, not quite grasping how it all adds up, but knowing they’re all connected in some ethereal way. “There’s Never Just One,” which is up through November 25, is like O’Cain herself: fascinating in its obscurity.
The daughter of an architect father and a theater-loving mother from the “backwoods of Mississippi,” O’Cain grew up in the South during the Civil Rights era, first in Jackson, Miss., and later moving to the Gulf Coast. She went on to study art at both Oklahoma University and the Art Institute of Chicago, before moving to San Diego in 1983 to get her master’s degree in visual art from the University of California, San Diego.
While that last sentence is delivered casually, this “fanciful” approach does speak volumes about O’Cain’s approach to her art now.
