This artwork of Anne Bengard named 'Breathless I' is a painting crafted in 2022 with oil on linen. Anne’s work deals with issues around connection, intimacy and fetishisation, understanding the term ‘fetish’ in the context of behaviour, devotion, obsession and consumption. At times borderline voyeuristic, her visual language uses polarities to explore social issues, norms and stereotypes and aims to create a sense of sensuality and tension. Anne’s works ask questions rather than make statements. Her subjects predominantly feature her long time Muse and bestie Das Fräulein Fuchs as well as friends and loved ones.
Anne is a self taught painter influenced by 90s anime and manga like Sailor Moon, old master paintings like those of Caravaggio and Rubens and 'surrealists' like Leonor Fini to name a few. Having started with watercolour in her studio practice, she switched to oil painting in 2017. Simultaneously she began working in urban art creating large scale murals. Her studio practice focuses on personal themes and exploration while her mural work shifts the focus on the history, people and contexts of the respective environments.
