Gallery 1 - New Paintings 2010
 

In her most recent group of paintings Ana Bianchi 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. Elements of collage and patchwork seem to overlay the distant hills and valleys which appear to be trace memories of places visited and an emotional response to the landscape in which she finds herself, whether it is the rolling Cotswold and Wiltshire hills where she lives or the more spatial settings of Yorkshire or Norfolk. These works maintain a delightful equilibrium between representational landscapes and landscape as abstract inspiration.

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, West Sussex from 12th June - 3rd July. She has just been included in a book by Jacob Sutton "British Art Now" 2010.

Her work can be seen at the COSA Gallery, Ledbury Mews North, London W11; the Moncrieff Bray Gallery in Petworth, Kent; the Dollar Street Gallery in Cirencester, Glos; Corman Arts in Hampstead, London and the Flint Gallery in Blakeney, North Norfolk.
