This, I think, was by far the largest show that Anna N has done I think and it was interesting as one could see how she had changed and grown as an artists, with her smaller-scale, more delicate pieces in a small area at the back, her more medium-sized pieces in the middle of the gallery and her latest in the main front gallery. These last were on a much larger scale and the more delicate, almost filigree work of her earliest style was now much more aggressively assertive, with a stronger, although still very effectively restricted colour palette - well, essentially black and white..
The figures, in the best way, recalled Bacon with their fleshy, distorted and at times melting solidity. In almost all of them the body vanishes in an area into a dark often swirling hole which was most striking as well as disturbing as the uncertainty of what one was looking at had a powerful effect on the viewer. The edges in these latter works were always strong and very defined and I am wondering if this is, in one way, a sign of greater confidence or if it is just a development of her artistic vision and technique.
A first-rate exhibition and the Varfok do her proud.
