Anna Freeman Bentley’s work explores the emotional and social resonances of interior spaces. Her practice focuses on rooms, shops, warehouses, private clubs, bars and other architectural environments, transforming them into sites that evoke memory and suggest human presence without ever depicting people. Her paintings are distinguished by a rich, moody palette and expressive brushwork, blending careful observation with poetic reinterpretation.
« While the term ‘study’ holds historical associations of a roughly hewn en plein air sketch, Freeman Bentley’s take the form of large-scale oils that are imbued with the same rich palette and compositional rigour found in her works on canvas. They also hold a sense of immediacy and gestural liberation that the artist admits can be hard to replicate. ‘My work is best when I’m not overthinking it,’ she says, ‘and works on paper give me the biggest sense of freedom’. »

When invited me to respond to the flowers on display in the house of Jim and Helen Ede at Kettle's Yard, it was hard to say no. I've always found the house so poised and heavy with the felt presence of Jim and Helen. I hope my painting does some justice to their lasting personality, explored through the transcience of cut flowers.

« Reflective echoes are frequently coded within mirrors, with all their associations of vanity, wisdom and self-knowledge. In ‘Study for Vanity of vanities’ and ‘Study for Cast room’ (both 2024) for instance, the artist uses physically imposing examples to dissect the reality of what she is seeing, before reassembling it. These images feature a notable flattening of perspective that is not only informed by these oversized, fun-house reflections, but the reams of photographs the artist captures as vital source material. The adroit interplay of light and darkness, too, is channelled through various reflective surfaces, such as the polished top of a hardwood dressing table, or the diffractions that occur when the sun hits a glass vase filled with water.»

During a recent visit to Anna Freeman Bentley’s studio, she spoke about the role her paintings on paper play in her process. For Anna, these works aren’t secondary or preparatory in a conventional sense. They’re a space of freedom – what she calls an “inhibitionless” way of working – where ideas can expand, shift, and take unexpected directions.
Those discoveries travel with her when she takes to the canvas, carrying the emotional, technical and conceptual insights that emerge along the way.
Anna Freeman Bentley’s first exhibition dedicated to her paintings on paper is currently on view at.

« Reflections is an apt term with which to underpin the work of Anna Freeman Bentley. It suggests plurality, self-perception and artifice — all themes that she has long explored within her painting practice. Although her chosen subjects are often referred to as ‘domestic interiors’, the worlds she articulates are in fact ones of illusion and refraction. In each work, she blurs the lines between fact and fiction, embedding the viewer in the strange subterfuge of her chosen scene, whether it be a luxuriously furnished house-turned-film set in Saudi Arabia, or the meticulously curated belongings that populate Kettle’s Yard (the modernist gesamtkunstwerk and former home of Jim and Helen Ede, in Cambridge).
These are not reflections of a quotidian reality, but rather an interior sense of self that has been carefully poised for a viewing public — something that is ultimately staged. These fragile projections are reimagined through one final prism, in the form of the deft strokes of Freeman Bentley’s brush. The ragged edges of artful deception sometimes feature too, be it an incongruous light source that suggests a cinematic rig, or a fanciful collection of oversized pink blooms. »

Please come! I've never had a show of entirely works on paper before and I'm excited about the opportunity to view and discuss them as separate from the paintings on canvas that they inspire.
Thanks to Louise, Cecile and the team

Through these figure-less interiors, she creates spaces filled with narratives that hint at the lives and histories that have passed through them.
