Naomi Andrée Campbell
Naomi Andrée Campbell has been a faculty instructor of the Contemporary Body in Watercolor at The Art Students League of New York since 2007. She has been a guest artist at the Morgan Library and Museum, the New York Botanical Garden, the Center for Italian Modern Art, the New York Transit Museum, Lehman College, the Pratt Institute, the Hudson Valley Art Association, and other national and international colleges and organizations.
Drawing from her research in neuroscience and art, Campbell’s paintings investigate perception and the creative process through the act of seeing. The transformative process explores ephemeral expressions emerging from hierarchical acts of seeing through the eye and thinking with the brain. Working with concepts of memory “templates” and the biophysics of movement, her unique paintings capture perceptions of a world of liminal spaces while reflecting her multi-ethnic and Japanese identity.
Campbell’s exploration of the changing perception of light in watercolor has led to three-dimensional glass sculptures and immersive installations in her projects.
