UAE-based artist Anja Bamberg concludes her First Solo Residency at Tashkeel Al Fahidi with an exhibition of a new body of work focusing on the subject of sustainability. Having grown up by the sea, water has been the main subject of her visual art practice for the last 20 years. Recently, she has started experimenting with non-traditional materials to draw attention to the advancing climate crisis. Anja repurposes waste-paper into a series of abstract paintings exploring the colour spectrum of blue and the important role of wind.
Anja Bamberg is an artist and art therapist with a MA in Art and Design Therapy. She boldly reaches for colour and enjoys the sheen of oil on canvas. In large-format paintings, she is always looking for the greatest possible contrast without losing sight of the aesthetic approach. Her art is characterised by works oriented to her current environment. Her Baltic roots have had a strong influence; maybe that’s why the sea has always been an essential part of her practice over the last 20 years. Anja Bamberg is a member of Tashkeel.
