Anita Klein

Australian born painter and printmaker Anita Klein now lives and works in London and has exhibited her prints and large oil paintings extensively in the UK, Australia and California.

Trained at the Chelsea School of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art. Anita is a fellow and Past President of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. Her work has been shown at the Royal Academy and the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London and is held in many private and public collections including The Arts Council of Great Britain.

Her hand-made etchings, dry-points, aquatints, screen-prints and lithographs depict the various activities and relationships of her family members. These depictions are often gently humorous. Through her beautiful and confident use of line and space she creates images and memories which are universally understood.

Anita says that “..these everyday events are what she would miss most if it was all taken away. While family photo albums record our lives as one long round of birthdays and holidays, the very moments we should most value are almost always ignored and forgotten.”

In 2015 The Guardian said of her work “No British artist has more thoroughly explored the female experience of family in the past 30 years than Anita Klein”
