Award winning Contemporary art gallery in Cranbrook, Kent

Anna Tork lives on Manhattan’s Upper West Side by the river, where the shifting light, open water, and rhythm of city parks shape her practice. Her paintings explore the balance between translucence and weight: poured washes seep into raw canvas, forming passages of color that spread and pool, while darker, grounded shapes hold the composition in place. Some forms press against one another; others seem to hover, as if floating in air.

Her recent paintings turn inward, to the ordinary patterns of daily life—walks along the Hudson, shifting skies, evenings painting after her daughter is asleep. Anna's artistic process is intentionally slow, sometimes adding only a single form before stepping away, allowing each work to build gradually. Through this layering, the paintings become records of time passing: not grand events, but impressions that remain—the light across a floor, the quiet of dusk, the memory of a moment held in color.

We are delighted to represent Anna's work. The Lane Art gravitates towards contemporary artists who prioritize visual and actual texture. Tork's layered canvases, with their raw edges, pooled colors, and delicate lines, inherently fit with The Lane's roster of artists. Her work invites viewers to move beyond mere visual perception toward a deeper, more physical connection. By grounding her abstract art in the inspiring mundane and freezing moments of time, Anna Tork delivers a profound, textured experience that resonates deeply, offering viewers an opportunity for introspection and quiet contemplation within their most sacred space: home.
