A Gloucestershire
resident, she has exhibited at the Stroud House Gallery and
the Anderson Gallery, Burford. She has been a regular
contributor to the biennial "Fresh Air" open-air
sculpture shows in Quenington, which she curated
and organised in 2005, 2007 & 2009. She will be curating the
next show in June/July 11 - "Fresh
Air 2011".
In London, she has exhibited in various venues
including the Hyde Park Gallery and Lauderdale House. In 2002
and 2003 she had solo painting exhibitions at the Gavin Graham
Gallery in London. She had a third solo painting show at the
COSA Gallery, London in April 2005.
Ana Bianchi now concentrates almost entirely on painting and in her most recent group of paintings she handles the texture, colour and form of the land with a sculpting hand, almost carving the paint on to the canvas with a layering of colour and varied brushwork. These landscapes are explorations of the cutting and layering of shape and colour in a rural setting and they combine a rich palette with a tendency to abstraction and painterly brushwork whilst retaining the haunting, ambiguous qualities that have always characterised her sweeping, spatial landscapes.
She exhibits regularly at Art London and the London Art Fair in Islington and in April 2009 she exhibited at Gallery 27, Cork Street in a double show with Cornish artist Caroline Delevingne. In May 2009 she had a solo show at the St Giles Street Gallery in Norwich. She was one of the artists selected for the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition held at the Mall Galleries in November 2009. In 2010 she will be exhibiting at the London Art Fair, Islington; the 20/21 International Art Fair at the Royal College of Art, Kensington 18-21 February; and "Light on the Landscape" at the Moncrieff Bray Gallery, Petworth from 12th June - 3rd July 2010. She has just been included in a book by Jacob Sutton "British Art Now."
Her work can be seen at the COSA
Gallery, Ledbury Mews North, London W11; the Moncrieff
Bray Gallery in Petworth, West Sussex; Corman
Arts in Hampstead, London and the
Flint Gallery in Blakeney, North Norfolk.
