Anna Gammans is a British contemporary artist known for expressive paintings filled with colour, movement and atmosphere. From vivid landscapes and dramatic skies to more abstract compositions, her work captures the energy and emotion of a moment through bold colour, texture and intuitive mark-making.
Working from her London studio, Anna builds her paintings instinctively, allowing layers of colour, expressive marks and changing textures to guide each composition. Rather than simply recording a landscape, she is interested in capturing how a place or moment feels.
Alongside her studio practice, Anna is an art broadcaster and presenter, sharing her enthusiasm for artists and the wider art world. Across both sides of her career runs the same belief: that art should feel engaging, emotional and accessible, inviting people to connect with it in their own way.
COLOUR | EMOTION | EXPRESSION
Painting the Feeling
Anna Gammans is drawn to colour and the way it can completely change how we experience a place or moment. Landscapes, dramatic skies and more abstract compositions become starting points for paintings filled with movement, atmosphere and emotion.
Rather than simply reproducing what she sees, Anna responds to the feeling of a subject. Colour can be intensified, forms loosened and familiar landscapes transformed into something altogether more expressive.
The result sits somewhere between landscape and abstraction — recognisable enough to draw you in, but open enough to allow your own memories and associations to become part of the painting.
An Instinctive Process
Anna’s paintings develop intuitively, with each layer influencing what happens next. Oils sit alongside spray paint, metallic acrylics and inks, while brushes, palette knives, sponges and hands can all become part of the painting process.
This freedom gives the work its energy. Marks remain visible, colours overlap and areas of detail sit beside looser passages of paint, creating surfaces that reward a closer look.
It is a process led as much by instinct and emotion as observation, allowing the finished painting to retain the spontaneity of the moment in which it was created.
Making Art Accessible
Anna’s relationship with art extends beyond her own studio practice. Alongside painting, she has developed a career as an art broadcaster and presenter, sharing the stories behind artists, exhibitions and the wider art world.
There is a natural connection between the two sides of her career: a belief that contemporary art should feel engaging rather than intimidating, and that discovering why an artwork connects with you can be every bit as important as understanding how it was made.
Whether through a painting or a conversation about art, Anna’s work is ultimately about connection — using colour, emotion and creativity to invite people into the experience.
