We are delighted that Anna Simmons has agreed to show her paintings in London with Medici Gallery after a hiatus of a few years from the world of commercial galleries. Her decision to step back a little and take stock for a while should come as no surprise: she only took up painting full-time, despite having painted all her life, as a mature student at Central St Martin’s on turning 50, so she is an artist who likes to take things at her own pace. The result is that the works that she does release are of a consistently high standard. They also reflect her contemplative and calm character: she enjoys the interesting abstract shapes created by light playing on architecture along with people watching – so it’s easy to imagine, when looking at her work, the artist sitting quietly in a space waiting for exactly the right combination of light and people to inspire her.
