Juxtapoz Magazine – Radio Juxtapoz, ep 065: Ania Hobson on Real Life Escapism

There is so much going on in the painting of Suffolk, UK-based painter, Ania Hobson. At first glance they are portraits, people posing, leaning, conversing, in bars, bedrooms and in cars. But there are escapists fantasies and sense of almost being misunderstood in each work, like a conversation gone awry or a secret being told. The colors are bold. The facial expressions are often intense or contemplative. And in the end, you are entering Hobson’s world that teeters between a sense of reality and that of a distant daydream.
