Anna King: Landscape Paintings

Artist Statement

I love to explore empty, feral places: wastelands, abandoned buildings and barren pieces of scrub-land.

I find myself in a no-mans land. Unclaimed territory, that, for a while anyway, I can have as my own. It’s an adventure playground that nobody meant to build, a desolate, wild expanse of cracking concrete and decaying structures. Once a hive of human activity, these forgotten places have no purpose left – but no rules either – and nature is slowly and relentlessly taking the land back.
