Anji Allen was born in Galway and has been producing contemporary art in England for a number of years. There are many influences on Anji's art work including those of St Ives in Cornwall where she spent time

Anji Allen has developed a specific and recognisable style of contemporary art. Anji builds her art works with layer upon layer of paint producing very textural paintings which are reworked and scraped back as she marks and draws lines into the paint. Paintings are limited calm neutral colours of pale green, dark brown, creams and golds

Anji Allen's paintings are a revelation and celebration of the day to day. Familiar items such as scrubbed table top, milk jugs and tea cups are elevated and given a rarity value in Anji's paintings with her careful use of space and texture.

Anji Allen says of her paintings: “My paintings are an emotional response to memory, reminding me of people and places, of times spent with friends and family, chatting over a cup of tea or coffee. The cup taking on a symbolic personal statement each having its own personality and narrative. The pleasure and joy is in the mark making the layering and application of paint. The construction of the forms are intuitive and not contrived, flowing as if in conversation.”

Anji Allen's paintings are blessed with many qualities. At first sight her art works appear simple and minimalist, but on closer examination the undoubted technical competence of Allen is evident.
