About the artist:
Anne Bengard is a self taught painter who got strongly influenced by 90’s anime and old master paintings and pop surrealism.
She studied Performance Design and Practice at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London. In her late teens she began working for London’s Torture Garden, the worlds largest fetish club. Fetish club etiquette formed her ethos of consent, respect and tolerance which now forms the basis of her work.
In 2014, Anne left London for Thailand to train as a free diver to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a mermaid. Unable to grow gills and fins to complete her mermaid transformation, she decided to relocate to Berlin to focus on developing her painting practice.
Anne’s work deals with issues around connection, intimacy and fetishisation, understanding the term "fetish" in the context of behavior, devotion, obsession and consumption. Often borderline voyeuristic, her visual language uses polarities to explore social norms, stereotypes and aims to create a sense of tension and sensuality.
