Artist Statement:
. www.annett-bank.co.uk
Focused on the coexistence
between silence and dynamic,
my main aim is to depict the
human face as concentrated as
possible and arrive at an
image of intense energy and
elegance. My ideas come from
the esoteric conceptof
‘dynamic meditation’,which is
executed when one is in a
state of heightened awareness
and conscious presence. Here,
one is to feel a deep
stillness, peace and joy, but
simultaneously experiences
sensations of intense
aliveness, power and radiance.
Influenced by the German
Expressionism of my home
country, I have always been
interested in the colorful
representation of the
figure.Whilst studying for my
BA(Hons) at Northbrook College
Sussex, I felt drawn to
develop ambiguous body forms
engaged in enigmatic actions
and by fusing the real with
the dreamlike, my work has
essentially become, what I
believe to be a potential
representation of our true
nature seen from the
perspective of metaphysics. My
work thus carries a certain
spiritual connotation as it
strives to picture an ideal of
harmony, balance and stability
within the human being in an
otherwise ever faster moving
world. ...

Artist Reviews:
“Annett is a very talented
fine artist, who worked
incredibly hard to move
herself from full-time
employed to full-time artist.
She produces an extensive
range of vibrant semi-abstract
canvases which are full of
expression and life. I would
highly recommend Annett as she

| Your Personal Biography |
After gaining my BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art Painting in 2007 from the University of Brighton,UK, I now work successfully as a freelance artist. I have won entry into the 'TOP 100' exhibition at the Jealous Gallery in London and participated via the curator Art Adict with my semi-abstract figurative paintings at the 'Cambridge Art Fair'. I will be represented by clase Contemporary fine art dealers and the Orion Gallery London at the 'Buy Art' Fair in Manchester in September, as well as at the 'Affordable Art Fair' in London in October 2009.
In 2008 I was recognized as one of UK’s Best Graduates by the SaLon Gallery in Notting Hill and exhibited at the 'Midsummer Art Fair'at the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington, London.I continously receive much interest for my figurative paintings- especially during the annual‘Open Houses’ at the international Arts Festival in Brighton. I currently work closely with the Saffron Gallery in Battle, who represents a selection of my large, abstract paintings. Previous to my degree studies I received a 'Distinction’ diploma in Art & Design Foundation. |
