Vous découvrirez une sélection de ses toiles mise en scène, "comme à la maison" au sein de La Boutique Appart'. Il y a plusieurs année j'ai eu un coup de foudre pour son univers poétique, floral ou aquatique et sa technique toute particulière de broder ses toiles !

Ann Dunbar nous fait l'honneur d'être présente pour le vernissage le mardi 8 octobre à partir de 18h ! N'hésitez pas à venir à sa rencontre et discuter autour d'un verre de son art si spécial.

Ann Dunbar est une artiste britannique primée en arts mixtes titulaire d'un diplôme en art (West Surrey College of Art) et d'un diplôme de professeur à la Southbank University. Depuis qu'elle a déménagé définitivement en France en 1996, elle a participé à 45 expositions personnelles et 120 expositions de groupe à travers le monde aux UK, à Hong Kong, en Chine, à l'Ecole de Paris et au Japon.
Récemment, Ann a reçu un prix NFT du Biancoscuro Art Contest 2022, ainsi que le trophée "artiste de l'année" de l'ArtExpo, la "Médaille de vermeil 2022" de l'Académie Arts-science-Lettres à Paris, la médaille de bronze (Artlookone) France, et le prix "Collectors Vision" International Award 2021 du Contemporary Art Curator Magazine aux États-Unis, son 56e prix au cours de sa carrière.
Ann est membre de la Fondation Taylor à Paris et sponsor de TAFA (Fibre Arts,USA Technique).
Avec un parcours artistique remarquable s'étendant sur plus de trois décennies, Ann s'est consacré à l'art délicat de l'aquarelle. Ce qui la distingue est sa fusion ingénieuse de la riche tradition anglaise de la broderie sur papier avec le médium éthéré de la peinture. En superposant habilement de fins fils de coton et de soie aux côtés de ses coups de pinceau, Ann insuffle de la vie à ses œuvres d'art, ajoutant une dimension enchanteresse qui danse avec la lumière changeante et captive le regard du spectateur 🌸

Beached Combed 1 30X30cm Embroidery & mixed media on paper. 2021
I am working at a steady pace, with creating some new bigger works to enlarge my luxurious rockpool collection, with the intention of exhibiting them in 2022., and as a spin off, I have interesting ideas to produce semi abstracts based on my textural observations of walls and stone surfaces. These will have fantastic effects as I will be mixing metallic acrylics to water colour. By 1st March, these should be ready for release on my web page shop.
Abstract series in the making with mixed media
From 1st April, I will start on another series with Spring in the air. These will be smaller pieces on promotion and available to my followers in mid- May, the theme " birds, butterflies and blooms".

Ann
"My art is a history of faraway places, its a passion, an emotion, a record of positive moments in those wild areas we seek for contemplation and serenity. we need to stay connected to nature because we are a part of it. I wish to bring awareness of the fragility and beauty of our wild landscape and instil feelings of exultation, gratification and appreciation of what is so easily taken for granted'
Leena will animate the floor space with marvels of sculptures and fine jewellery pieces in bronze.
"To cast in bronze is forever! An ethereal image becomes lasting and able to withstand the elements. With these qualities, I aim to show my subjects in a new light: their hidden power or strength is quietly displayed.
The lost wax sculptures are inspired by the relationship between strength and beauty found in animals and humankind"

The Art of Luxury
My art on display and for sale at the G&C Gallery, Tunbridge Wells, UK. 
Issue no:39 The Art of Luxury
Dear friends and fans , I am ready for some amazing art projects in 2019. What a buzz!!!- the year starts with a bang and my art is showcased in a luxury magazine published this January in the UK.
It is magic working with threads, they take on a new perspective when worked in any fashion, but with embroidering, some extra special is happening! Not only are we creating something beautiful made by hand from imagination, but we are also participating in historic traditions tens of thousands of years old. You are not only creating art for your soul and for your future generations, you are embodying the work of our ancestors.. How humbling it is to learn that an embroidered artwork is made with love, passion, patience and persistence and the final result will be for an enduring and eternal pleasure to keep hold on for future generations too. Look at this article which appears in the double issue "The Art of Design and The Art of Luxury" magazine which describes why I think embroidery empowers and adds value to my water colours - its my "why" and "what for", as well as "where" I look for inspiration. These thoughts keep me working and feeling appreciative,even with all the effort involved. Its worthwhile.
You will be able to view for real some examples of my embroidered art at G&C Art Gallery in Kent. the address and contact can be seen in the article below

Start a new leaf.
A new year, new fresh ideas and resolutions all amounts to starting a new "leaf". My first creation 2017, "Leaf Mandala" 20x20cm embroidery on hologrammic paper, which embodies meaning of energy, growth, hope, journeys, reflection and symmetry in harmony, are points which will guide us to do the best we can, whatever we want and need, it is all down to each and every individual.
We are modelled by are thoughts: we become what we think. As an artist, thoughts and images are imagined in our minds, emerging from the subconscious just like the feelings in our hearts reach the surface, we produce our artwork, our internal vision, our quest for inspiration and direction with colour, form, texture and shape, we create like going through mystical journey, not knowing where it is taking us. What will be the result? The life as an artist is like a quest, a constant search of personal expression, a personal response to what we have seen,experienced, what we have dreamt,books we have read, places we have seen, people we have met. Wow what a combination, what a responsibility, what an amazing life we have with its up and downs, like the flow of the tides, the waxing and waning of the moon, the phases of time and the whole movement in the cosmos. All this makes you feel humbled and privileged.
A fresh new leaf of life where time is to be spent as you want and then leads you to where you have to be and go. Artists we can be our own guide, our own self, our own being, we are unique and we all have our place here to offer joy, peace, hope and glory through our art. Art is LIFE.
