Homebound, an exhibition of paintings and prints by Anna Calleja, will open from the 4th to the 25th of March 2021. In this collection of paintings and prints, Calleja retires to the comfort and melancholy of home. She shows us her closest loved ones and uncovers objects burdened with private stories. Calleja is not one to shock or shout, her work is quietly introspective. Calleja disarms the viewer with the domestic space, drawing us in by familiarity to express themes that are universal. While the work is autobiographical, Calleja draws influence from a variety of sources. She harks back to artists she admires, references historic tropes in figurative painting and revisits the childhood certainty of fairy tales; sleeping figures, lost shoes, misted mirrors, and domestic happy-ever-afters. In this body of work, Anna Calleja questions what it means to find comfort in a time of great uncertainty.
