Artist Statement

Assimilating abstract depictions with representational organic imagery, Anya

Love creates compelling and multifaceted works that explore themes of

interconnectivity, polarity and duality. Utilising a combination of acrylics and

oils, and greatly inspired by the colours viewed in nature, in textiles and within

modern interior design, her works result from a crescendo of concentrated

colour layering, gesturing and mark-making.

Frequently inundated with ideas, stories and conceptualisations, Anya will

frequently edit, alter and revise these, prior to deciding on the best means to

convey them. Once the preliminary sketching and initial design work is

complete, a colour story is decided upon and, from that point, the creative

process is a predominately free-flowing practice. Striving to unveil the beauty

and intrigue in distortion, her works are regularly rotated whilst they’re worked

on, with their final orientation typically revealed in the concluding phases of

the process.
