Anna Bisset. Nov 2023.
Bedford House Community Association Autumn Exhibition 2022.
In the Autumn Exhibition at Bedford House in November 2022, I show a series of still life paintings which followed on from a number of annual exhibitions by the sea in Suffolk celebrating the sea and landscape of the area. At the time, I collected some stones and some driftwood and later put these together with some of ceramics and fabrics that I have at home. This led to the next phase of work, these still life paintings which, for me, merged the summer holiday experience with the London home. Elements pulling in different directions create energy or conflict in the work, a parallel to life.
I still like to collect both natural and man-made forms and to incorporate them both into the annual cycle of work in the art classes I teach, term by term. I often work in series with my painting – producing more than one image on the theme – it gives me the chance to mull over ideas and rethink. I also like to revisit themes from the past, often giving works new titles reflecting on experiences that have taken place since the work was made.
Price List:
1. “Cup or Mug” Oil on Canvas £250
2. “Stones I” Gouache, framed £200
3. “Stones II” Oil on Canvas £275
4. “Sticks and Stones” Oil on Canvas £300
5. “Blue Collar” Acrylic on Canvas £450
Further notes:
“Cup or Mug” (oils), reminded me of my mum’s habit of asking, when she made you a cup of coffee, whether you would like a cup or a mug. This not only holds memories of family members who are no longer with us, but also represents some of the homely rituals in my childhood which resonate with my own family today.
“Blue Collar” (acrylics), about a walk in Epping Forest, was painted after Lockdown and was originally called “Forest Bathe”, as I was exploring the idea of walking in the forest as a multi-sensory experience. It later became “Blue Collar” from the dog in the foreground. This then prompted thoughts about the leisure activity of walking in the forest but also about painting or art as a leisure activity as opposed to as a means of earning a living – a issue that has played out in my life since I first left art college in 1987.

Anna Bisset. July 2022.
“Rule of Six” is a silk-screen print I have made in response to Lockdown and the Pandemic –
The image was produced in an edition of 45 for the E17 Art Trail, 2021. The method of silk-screen printing subjects the image to a series of technical processes and the new broken, flat shapes, disorientate the viewer, hinting at a possible future which may be very different from our own. The signed and editioned hand-made print is available for £55 each. Please email for details.
This is a second project in response to the Pandemic. See Anna’s Art Life, Summer 2020, for the pair of paintings produced in the garden studio during the first Lockdown: “Disruption of the Everyday: Hesdin” and “Le Crotoy”, oil on canvas.

Monoprint: “Sea Change – 16”, featured at Beulah Road Studios, Walthamstow this Christmas, is one of a series of prints made in and around Aldeburgh in response to the landscape and to Benjamin Britten’s opera “Peter Grimes”. It is a monoprint made in four layers of colour, by rolling ink onto a glass plate and scraping away the image, a process that took several days. This lead to a series of landscape images over a number of years which formed a key part of my process as an artist early on in my career. I currently teach adults in the East London area alongside pursuing my own creative work.
The image size is 16 x 20cm and it is framed with a white mount and frame, size 42 x 44cm. You can see the framed print in the studio photo featured on the Anna’s Art Life page. You can see more from the series of prints in the painting and prints section.
