Annette Perone Leiber's "Retrospective"

The Addison Center for the Arts proudly presented its featured Arts DuPage Month artist Annette Perone Leiber and her solo exhibit “Retrospective”. Her gorgeous artworks were on display at the Addison Center for the Arts Gallery from October 9 through November 9, 2024. The highlight of the exhibit was the opening reception on October 11. All the proceeds from the sale of Leiber's art will be donated in her name for scholarships for students at Addison Trail High School, continuing their education in one or more of the arts, including music, theater, and visual arts. 

The founder of numerous artist groups, including the Addison Center for the Arts, the award-winning professional artist and educator, Annette Perone Leiber has been fascinated by exploring all dimensions of artistic expression. The artist says, “I have spent most of my life experimenting with all media. The world we see affords an ever-changing subject from which to draw inspiration.”

Leiber’s desire to discover not only the amazing world around her but its hidden mysteries led her to begin research, using an electron microscope. Observing the objects through the microscope's lenses opened a new world to her, full of intricacy and captivating details that later on were reflected in the artist’s paintings.

In her art, Leiber incorporates the “trapped air” imagery and strives to have others view these mysteries as she does, by using their imagination and perception. She also embraces contemporary techniques, while combining concepts, materials, and images from many sources to unveil the beauty of the invisible world and share it with us through her exquisite art.

Annette Perone Leiber's work has graced many private, civic, and corporate collections across the United States and abroad.
