Bio
Anna Freeman Bentley was born in London in 1982 and lived in Thailand from the age of three to ten. She took a BA at Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2004, including an Erasmus exchange in Berlin, and an MA at the Royal College of Art in 2010. She paints interiors and the built environment, mostly in oil on board: baroque rooms, junk shops, bars, hotels, members' clubs, industrial sites and film sets, with mirrors and reflections a recurring device. Her source material is her own photography, and gentrification, decay and renewal run through the paintings. Her ongoing series Complete Reality looks at staged and assembled environments. She showed in Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2009 and the Prague Biennale in 2011, and has exhibited with Frestonian Gallery and Lyndsey Ingram in London, Grimm in Amsterdam, Monica De Cardenas in Zuoz and Anat Ebgi in Los Angeles. In 2026 Lehmann Maupin gave her a first exhibition with the gallery in London, Conduits. Her work is in the Tia Collection, Santa Fe, and the Ahmanson Collection, Irvine.
Most of her paintings are oil on board, and some early works are on cardboard. Cardboard is easily dented, creased or marked by damp, so corners and edges matter, and a board should be checked for scratches to the paint surface and for warping. A gallery invoice with the title and date of the work is the first thing a buyer asks for, and a record of where it has been exhibited helps.
