Anna Mossman

Anna Mossman explores aspects of line and duration through the hand-made, using repetition, pattern and variation. Her work focusses on the extended field of ‘Drawing’, foregrounding finely-wrought, long-term line drawings alongside large ink and watercolour works on paper. Her current practice emerged during the mid-2000s from an extensive body of photographic work exploring recorded action and the extended moment.

Selected recent exhibitions include ‘TRANSFER: Korean and British Abstract Painting and the Digital Document’ curated by Daniel Sturgis, Simon Morley and Jung-Ah Woo at the Korean Cultural Centre UK (2023); ‘Lines of Empathy’ at Patrick Heide Contemporary Art London and CLOSE, both 2023, produced by Giulia Ricci, including an interview in the accompanying book ‘Lines of Empathy’; ‘Frequency’ at OHSH Projects South, 2023, curated by Imogen Wetherall and ‘Shivers | Shifts | Overlays’, her Solo Show at CLOSE, 2021 (see our exhibitions page here). An extensive, recent interview with Mossman by Ben Gooding can be found here. Mossman’s work will be shown at ‘Drawing Now Art Fair’, Paris, 21-24 March 2024.

Mossman has exhibited across Europe, in America, Canada and China. She studied painting at Camberwell College of Arts UAL and Fine Art at Goldsmith’s College University of London, followed by a Rome Award at The British School at Rome, Italy. Mossman is currently a Lecturer in Drawing at Camberwell College of Arts, UAL, lives and works in London and is represented by CLOSE Ltd.
