ANITA KLEIN
Australian born painter and printmaker Anita Klein
now lives and works in London and has exhibited her prints and large
oil paintings extensively in the UK, Australia and California.
Trained at the Chelsea School of Art and the Slade School of Fine
Art , she is a fellow and past President
of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers, has been shown at the
Royal Academy and the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. Her
work is held in many private and public collections including The
Arts Council of Great Britain.
Anita's work
is a humorous visual diary celebrating the small domestic moments we
all share; having breakfast with her daughters, shaving her legs
while husband 'Nige' does his exercises, catching the guinea pig and
many more. These moments are encapsulated with the soft blackness of
the drypoint line, and while irrelevant details are ignored, others
like Nige's hairy legs, or the television remote control are
lovingly described.
Anita says that 'these everyday events are what
she would miss most if it was all taken away'. While family photo
albums record our lives as one long round of birthdays and holidays,
the very moments we should most value are almost always ignored and
forgotten.
Pyramid
gallery is proud to have had a continuous association with Anita
since 1994 when she first showed her work here with the Greenwich
Printmakers Cooperative. Since then her work has featured in
numerous exhibitions here, including four solo shows.
