Interview

"Her sketchbook is littered with notes and scribbles that run a thick yellow highlighter pen through the sadness, the betrayal, the loss that she feels when important relationships end. This honesty combines with her tourist's perspective and forms a potent blend of expression."

Laurini doesn't just wear her heart on her sleeve, she pours it out onto her paintings and sketches. Her sketchbook, particularly, is littered with notes and scribbles that run a thick yellow highlighter pen through the sadness, the betrayal, the loss that she feels when important relationships end. This honesty combines with her tourist's perspective and forms a potent blend of expression that evokes a romantic melancholy, worthy of any pop song.

You can see several examples from Laurini's enchanting portfolio at the Summer Exhibitions at 3Cups Gallery in Ely and Needhams in Witchford, Cambridgeshire this season. Two of her sketches are also featured in the 'Different Journeys Project Exhibition' taking place at the Art In Health Conference held at the University of Northampton on 3rd September 2007.

The Italian Artist Anna Laurini is inspired by the abstract expressionism movement but has developed a unique, quite informal style, using a mix of acrylic paint, collage and other media.

Her work is vibrant and colourful, perhaps as a result of her experiences living and working in Italy, London, New York, & Australia. Her travels have endowed her portfolio with a charismatic, transient quality and one gets the impression that it is all cartography- she is mapping the course of her life, or rather, leaving a trail of bread crumbs behind her.
