Anastasia Bay (FR)
Anastasia Bay’s paintings are often in large scale, characterised by secure brushstrokes and rough drawing marks applied in a synthetic fashion over bright colour-field backgrounds. Bay depicts human figures in a way that reminds of classical and ancient references, such as Minoan frescos and Egyptian ceremonial images, in paintings often presented as cohesive series revealing an interest in relationship dynamics and personal narratives.
Anastasia Bay (Paris, 1988) graduated from the prestigious École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2012) and her recent exhibitions include Anna Zorina Gallery (New York, October 2021), Sorry We’re Closed (Brussels, 2021), Galerie Derouillon (Paris, 2021) and Spurs Gallery (Beijing, 2020). Bay lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
