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.
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. She has been included in a book by Jacob Sutton "British Art Now" and she exhibits regularly at Art London, the London Art Fair, Islington and the 20/21 British Art Fair at the Royal Academy.
Her work can be seen at the Brian Sinfield Gallery, Burford, the COSA Gallery, London W11; the Moncrieff
Bray Gallery in Petworth, Kent; and the Flint Gallery in Blakeney, North Norfolk.
