Anna Woodward
About the Artist
Anna Woodward lives and works in London. She gained both her MA and BA Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School. Woodward has exhibited with Duarte Sequeira Gallery, Braga (solo, 2023), Frestonian Gallery, London (solo, 2024), Lupo, Milan (2023).
Woodward’s work creates fantastical worlds that blur the lines between utopia and dystopia, transporting viewers to a realm beyond reality. In these worlds, biomorphic forms flourish freely, yet bear the imprint of human influence. Woodward primarily employs oil on linen, building layers of paint to achieve intensity, perspective, and depth. Her paintings combine loose washes with highly rendered, voluptuous biomorphic forms, creating an overgrown and wild aesthetic. A sense of obsessive repetition is evident in her work, as she explores recurring motifs and intricate details. Woodward's paintings possess a distinctive and energetic force, sparking conversations about the power and mystery of nature. Her work invites viewers to contemplate the intricate balance between organic growth and human intervention. By blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, she challenges our perceptions of the natural world and encourages us to appreciate its beauty and complexity.
