Ange Mullen-Bryan
Ange Mullen-Bryan's paintings are inspired by her annual visits to Sweden, where she has been going for 25 years. Her paintings draw on the Swedish landscape of vast lakes, islands and forests, and speak of the importance of connecting to and immersing ourselves in nature and its wilderness.
Ange has her studio at Painswick, near Stroud, in Gloucestershire, but every year she and her family spend as much of the summer as they can in central Sweden, about two and a half hours away from Stockholm, in the same 1950s-built red cabin on the lake that their family have been visiting for decades. That experience of immersing herself in the Swedish landscape each year, and the opportunity to re-set and reconnect with nature that it brings, inform Ange’s wonderful landscape paintings.
Ange Mullen-Bryan was part of a group show BRACKLIG in 2021, and in autumn 2023, she is showing 22 paintings in her solo show THESE WILDER THINGS (16 September - 15 October 2023).
