Anna Hymas Paintings

Anna Hymas Paintings

I’ve a list of well of 100 artists from Saatchi Art I’m planning to feature on MoMa so it’s no mean feat that the colourful, confident paintings of Anna Hymas rose to the top of the list.

What I love about Anna’s work is mix of irreverent playfulness and assured mark making and colour choices. It’s the work of an artist having fun with the skill and experience to unify that playfulness through a cohesive palette and and balanced feel for composition.

It’s a difficult tightrope to walk so it’s no surprise to learn that Anna is a trained dancer as well as artist, illustrator and author and knows a thing or two about expression, rhythm, control and balance.

The painting ‘Fruit, flowers & patterned pots’ shown here perfectly illustrates an artist enjoying her work. An orange in the bottom left corner is suggested with a few expressive brush strokes while the word ORANGE is painted below in bright orange to remove any doubts.

Happy instances like these are like a knowing smile from a friend – we’re in on this painting together, the artist is having fun and wants us to join in.

Childlike wonder is alive and well in these Anna Hymas paintings and would make a wonderfully uplifting addition to any home.
