The Art of Mary Jane Ansell

We first came across portrait artist Mary Jane Ansell’s stunningwork in the New Masters exhibition (covered here) at Subliminal Projects, and have beencaptivated ever since.The delicate poise and unexpected historical adornments ofher youthful subjects creates an environment of playful stillness. Many of the facialexpressions of her pale skinned subjects reflect a calm reverie, proving that while herneo-realistic technique invokes the past, it is firmly rooted in thepsychological landscapes of the modern world.
