Art UK, Timed Auction

Anja Hessler, Ramsgate-based artist and designer, creates moving sculptures from precious metals, aluminium, steel, acrylic and wood. 

Minimalism and Design as Art plays a dominant role in her artistic practice, drawing inspiration from the Modernism movement and in particular the Bauhaus aesthetic and its focus on form and function. 

Anja uses traditional techniques to manipulate each metal element to bring out traces of degradation and humidity. Her recent work focuses on opposites; combining the simplicity and precise nature of geometric forms with organic textures, allowing nature to take control over time.
