Schiefe Zähne is delighted to announce the representation of London-based artist Anna Clegg.
Anna Clegg (b. 1998, London, UK) engages with the circulation and consumption of images mediated through lived experience and popular culture, and explores their role in the construction of memory and subjectivity. Her paintings combine photorealistic figuration, reminiscent of the ubiquitous aesthetics of smartphone photography, with painterly gestures, making them feel at once familiar yet uncannily distanced. Her subject matter spans mundane scenes and interiors to references from fine art and popular culture. The references she selects tend to inhabit a specific cultural niche—“alternative” yet canonical, recognizable enough to have attained commercial success. Hence, Clegg’s work reflects an interest in cultural capital, where recognition and accessibility often outweigh ownership, offering a nuanced view of how culture is consumed and internalized in the digital age.
Anna Clegg will have her first solo presentation with Schiefe Zähne at Liste Art Fair in Basel, June 2025.
